Welcome to the Christian Songwriter's Network! Our goal is to provide Christian songwriters the best resources available for ensuring success in their songwriting. Find the best songwriting contests for Christian music, participate in our active forum, and find ways to get your music heard.
SEEKING NEW SONGS? Our forum has a great feature to help connect artists/labels/A&R's with songwriters -- just follow this link to submit calls for new music (this is
a completely
free
service and forum registration is not required). We now have over 3,000 members in our forum, so there's bound to be a good fit for the type of song you need! Songwriters who wish to be notified of calls for new music simply need to join our 'Seeking Songs Subscriber' Newsletter here (free).
FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH Congratulations to Yvonne Perkinsfor writing our featured song of the month for May 2008, "Lord I Believe"! Yvonne's song can be heard here on CSN's SoundClick Page. You can learn more about Yvonne on her Broadjam page here.

INTERACT WITH OTHER WRITERS The CSN forum was added in December 2004 and has grown to over 3,000 members! If you haven't joined yet, click here
to check it! If you
don't, here's what you'll miss out on:
Fellowship with other Christian songwriters
Improving your songwriting skills by giving and receiving critiques
Your own weblog, hosted right here on CSN
Free songwriting exercises
Did we mention joining CSN is 100% FREE? We also have an e-mail list to serve those who prefer e-mail interaction over a web-based forum.
Even if you don't want to build your own full-blown website, you can grab a domain name using one of the above plans and then set up a redirect to your SoundClick, MySpace, IndieHeaven, etc. profile. For example, CSN owner/founder's domain SongsbyJames.com is simply a redirect to his SoundClick page -- this is a lot easier to share on business cards (and easier to remember) than "http://www.soundclick.com/pro/view/02/default.cfm?BandID=302441".

The CSN was founded in 2003 by Christian songwriter James Moore in an effort to link together and promote Christian songwriters. While the CSN has evolved over time, promoting, supporting, and especially networking Christian songwriters in order to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ remains our primary goals. You can check out James' personal music ministry site at MovingTowardChrist.com.
