Lyric Writing Mentorship

Working With A Song Lyric Editor

Songwriting requires you to be a musician, a producer, a composer, a lyricist, and a storyteller. While fulfilling all those different roles can feel overwhelming, let me support and guide you in crafting compelling and meaningful lyrics for your current or next project!

Get support, guidance, and feedback on your lyrics and 1:1 Coaching to Craft Powerful Lyrics and Tell Captivating Stories in Your Songs.

Here's how and why I can make you this promise.

I am Melanie Naumann, and I am an Independent Consultant for Record Companies and Music Artists, as well as a Certified Story Grid Editor, author, and Developmental Lyric Editor.


For me, it's my calling to help songwriters leverage the power of storytelling so they can write lyrics that have the power to make an emotional impact on someone's life. It's about crafting narratives in lyrics that create an emotional connection with the listener and let you, as the songwriter, communicate what matters to you so that it resonates with your audience, and with that - leave your legacy.

You don't have to take my word for it.

What's Included in the Lyric Writing Mentorship

#1 – Discover the Heart of Your Songs

Get guidance and support to find the topics, themes, and stories you truly want to write about in your songs so that you put your time and energy into a project that's meaningful to you.


We brainstorm central ideas, themes, and concepts and talk about the progression each storyline can take. That will provide you with a clear understanding of the options you have to tell your story and find the one story that resonates the most with you.

#2 – Plot- & Character Development

We will develop an intriguing plot, as well as (a) compelling character(s). You will also be able to rely on a step-by-step outline of your story so that you know exactly what each song needs to accomplish to support the global story told in your song or even on your album.


Furthermore, you get a detailed cheat sheet of the most anticipated moments of your story and the character development of your protagonist so that you can focus on writing instead of worrying about what to include in your songs.

#3 – Feedback on Your Lyrics

The best way to improve your skills and level up is by having a quick feedback loop.

You'll get detailed feedback on your song lyrics and your story so you can stay on track. You'll know what you're already doing well and how to improve. That means you won't waste your time writing lyrics that don’t work and that won't resonate with your listeners.


You can send in one lyric/week for detailed feedback.

#4 – Weekly 1:1 guidance, coaching, and support.

Friendly and encouraging 1:1 support from someone who knows how to tell a story that works. No more wondering if your lyrics are good enough. I will be your developmental editor so you can spend more time writing and improving your lyrics and skills. → (Tailor Made Sessions specifically for your needs - 3 Month Program with 12 Sessions, 6 Month Program with 24 Sessions)


Additionally, you get access to me via WhatsApp, Mon - Fri for quick questions about storytelling in songwriting & your lyrics between sessions.

#5 – The Recordings & Transcripts of all of our calls on your personal membership dashboard.

I will record all of our 1:1 calls and give you access to the recordings so that you can review our calls anytime.

#6 – Evaluation of Your Lyrics' Power

Get an evaluation of the power of ten of your song lyrics so we can discover your strengths and areas for improvement right at the beginning of the mentorship. This will give us a starting point for the mentorship and allow us to go on from there, focusing on you and your current skill level.


Only available for 6-month mentorship.
