Songwriters are typically thought of as having the chance to work their own hours at their own homes. While many songwriters are freelancers and write their songs when and where they want, there are also staff writers who work exclusively for a music publisher. This type of arrangement is popular in Nashville. Contracted staff writers work regular hours in their office and devote their time to writing songs. The advantage of this working arrangement is that staff writers are able to concentrate on their job because they are paid regularly and won’t have to worry about getting another job to pay the bills.
