How many times have you listened to a song that brought back pleasant memories or transported you back to a place or time in your own past? If a song can set your own personal scene, maybe it’d be the perfect thing for you to use in your next book to help transport your readers to a particular place and time.

Over the years, MWSA has received several of our members’ books that have incorporated song lyrics to one degree or another. If you’re thinking that all you have to do is attribute the songs to the band that you remember playing the song… you might need to think again.

MWSA doesn’t pretend to be expert enough to provide legal advice to our members, but you might want to read this article (or do your own Google searching) before you take the plunge.
