In the early days of the internet, non-performing songwriters (or "pure" songwriters as they
sometimes termed themselves), were slow to utilise the web to promote their own songs.
However, as more singer-songwriters discovered the power of the internet both to publicise
their work and indeed to sell it directly to buyers, the number of "pure songwriter" sites grew,
encouraging non-performing writers to maintain their own outlet to which they could direct
potential performers, music publishers and record labels.
Nowadays, most writers have a presence of sorts on the web, even if most are little more
than Facebook pages or one page sites. In addition, many fans operate sites publicising the
work of their favourite tunesmiths.
Here are just a few of our favourite ones - but remember, if you have a site yourself,
or know of a site which you think is worthy of inclusion - just let us know and we will
be only too happy to include it.
