In Praise of the book
“Honest and direct story-telling with just enough twists and turns to keep you coming back for more are the hallmarks of a great song. In his sterling literary debut, Song Journey, Mark Cawley applies his time-tested songwriting chops to show us the challenges, disappointments and ultimate triumphs of that rarest of creatures - the successful professional songwriter.”

Emmy Award-winning Supervising Producer of The Voice (NBC) and Songland
Mark’s honest account of the trials and tribulations of the music business is an invaluable tool for aspiring songwriters and music business professionals. He not only invites you on his journey…he gives you a backstage pass and shares stories only a seasoned songwriter, producer and musician would know. Thank you for your honesty and wisdom Mark. I wish I would have had this book when I first moved to Nashville.

The Daily Song Journal
What is The Daily Song Journal? This is not your typical “how-to” book. It’s a 365-day journal packed with bite-sized inspiration, motivation, and prompts designed specifically for songwriters. Each day, you’ll be invited to take one of four actions—read, listen, watch, or go—and to make your own notes.
