I entered because American Songwriter is a legendary publication, and I thought it would be a great way to get my song heard by people who would appreciate it.
I was genuinely curious about how I could get my songs out to the world, I've been meaning to get my songs on American Songwriter for a while, but I wanted to make sure the material I was submitting had a chance of speaking to folks.
I love this magazine and what it stands for. I entered for exposure to new folks, trying to reach as may souls as I can with this message.
