Getting a manager to guide your songwriting career can be an important step on your way to becoming a hit songwriter. A manager can open doors for you in the music industry, pitch your songs & lyrics, and be your direct liason to record companies & recording artists.
Finding the right manager for you can at times be a bit challenging, as each songwriter or lyric-writer can have different career goals and needs, and might need a different type of manager.
For example, songwriters who are also poets or authors might benefit from having a literary agent. Songwriters who are also singers and performers might benefit more from having a booking agent to get them work, while talent agents are a more general type of management, who generally manage all types of talent, including singers, performers, actors and dancers.
