12. What can I do if there is no songwriter's organization in my area?
You can start one yourself! It's a great way to meet other
songwriters and build a support group. It doesn't need to be a fancy
thing. Some large organizations got started with a few individuals
sitting around in a circle sharing what they'd written that week.
You can also join an organization outside of your area. For example,
the LASS (Los Angeles Songwriters' Showcase) contains many out-of-town
members.
You can also participate at "open mic" nights. Check with
entertainment establishments in your area such as clubs and
coffeehouses. Performing at an "open mic" gives you a chance to "road

audience, while at the same time making yourself known to the public
and getting used to performing live.
