Songwriter Pocket Guide is my passion project that explores a more concise way to deliver tips and tricks to songwriters.
This was a personal process of discovery realizing something that maybe we've all run into—it's really hard to sift through all of the stuff on the internet. I was trying to find actionable takeaways to improve my songwriting, but found a lot of content and information was either too dense or too fluffy. I craved a streamlined source for songwriting goodies, and decided to kickstart something myself.
With my background in media, I really understand the power of concise and meaningful content. I wanted to find a tone of voice that is conversational and not too academic—but also authoritative and factually correct. Based on my knowledge of how to break apart headier topics, I decided on three channels of content creation:
For the website portion, I created the MVP using Sanity for my CMS and Next.js & React for the frontend—sprinkled with some OpenAI api. For newsletter creation and distribution, I landed on beehiv. And for social channels I use Instagram and Twitter.
Since I am the designer and developer and content creator for this project, there was never a real handoff—just a lot of agony over what to do next.
