and $50.00 for three. Fee is the same, for lyrics OR complete songs. ***************************************************************
Please submit NO MORE THAN THREE, per cassette tape or CD. Payment should accompany materials,or be prepaid. Your work is safe with us.
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS FOR CONTACT! VERY IMPORTANT! WE WILL SEND YOUR CRITIQUE DOCUMENTS BACK VIA EMAIL ATTACHMENT !(in a very professional format designed for maximum benefit to you, via separate song element analysis, and which you can print out and file.)
YOU MAY ALSO EMAIL US A LINK to the MP3 or other ONLINE MUSIC FILE of your song! If you choose this route, please also EMAIL US THE COMPLETE SONG LYRIC.
Please enclose a TYPED (or emailed) LYRIC SHEET, one separate sheet per song, along with the entire recorded SONG.
Your demos do NOT have to be elaborately produced... please don't spend your money on first draft songs...wait till you have done the "fine-tuning" on your songs --you'll thank yourself later!
Please do NOT go to the trouble of hand-notating the music on staff paper--we will be able to help you just as well, with the lyrics and the tape/CD.
If you're not emailing us the song file, please send CD or even an older cassette.
Your reply will take approximately three weeks per three songs...the more songs, the more response time is required. StarBright knows how important it is to you to hear back from us...we will get to yours
in the order in which it is received, and ASAP!!
Once again, please remember you are dealing with professionals...all song submissions are safe intellectual property.
Please NEVER submit your ONLY copy of your material... make a copy to send StarBright...you keep the original.
Hardcopy Materials (tapes/CD's/lyric sheets) will be destroyed after critiquing has been EMAILED BACK TO YOU! This is done to protect your original work.
My song--what do you think? My song--What do you think?

For tactful, in-depth, experience-based evaluation, you have definitely come to the right place! You'll receive suggestions on techniques to make them BETTER...not just critical dissection of them! ***** Remember however, a critique is NOT a rewrite FOR you...but geared to show you what to consider...when you sit down to write the next time!
