A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing, Recording, and Marketing Your Own Song in Just Two Weeks

Acclaimed international songwriter Mickey Wynne announces the release of his new book, The 14-Day Songwriter, a practical and inspiring guide designed to help aspiring and experienced musicians craft a complete song—from concept to recording and marketing—in as little as 14 days.

Based on Wynne’s extensive global career as a performer, composer, and producer, The 14-Day Songwriter breaks down the creative process into 14 clear and manageable steps, walking readers through every phase of songwriting—from choosing a theme, to writing lyrics and melody, to demo production, and final recording.

While structured over a 14-day period, Wynne emphasizes the method is flexible, adaptable to any schedule or working style. “Some readers may work through it in two weeks, others in a month, or even a weekend if they’re booking a studio session,” says Wynne. “It’s not about speed—it’s about clarity and creative momentum.”

This book is for:

Beginners who have never written a song but have always dreamed of doing so

Experienced songwriters seeking a fresh approach to jumpstart creativity

Music industry professionals—from managers to record executives—interested in better understanding the songwriter’s process

Mickey Wynne’s musical roots run deep. Taught guitar by his father at age six, he began writing music by nine and formed his first band while still at school—famously teaching Julian Lennon to play guitar. Since then, his career has taken him around the world, working in:

London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios with the Wiseguys

Karachi, Pakistan, where he co-created the televised play Ad Man’s Dream

New York City, serving as house writer for MCA/Uni Records

Nashville, collaborating with The Pioneers, a project with The Who’s John Entwistle

And creative hubs across Mexico, Hamburg, Sydney, and Singapore

With decades of firsthand experience and a rare international perspective, Wynne has distilled the essential tools and techniques of songwriting into a method that is engaging, insightful, and empowering.

The 14-Day Songwriter will be available starting May 30, 2025 online via Amazon
