One of the biggest challenges facing music composers and producers is getting paid for their work. Royalties are ever-dwindling as music buyers move from physical ownership of music to streaming services.

However, there is still a market that hundreds of music producers use to make a living: production music.TV and film industries are always hungry for fresh, innovative music.

This book guides you through the entire process of writing production music - from getting ideas for your first track to the tricks and tropes unique to this genre - and includes advice on where to send your completed work and how you can expect to be paid.

Dr Michael Hewitt is a composer, lecturer and writer with over 15 years’ experience writing production music. His music has been placed all over the world in a wide variety of productions, from BBC nature documentaries to The Oprah Winfrey Show.
