I have paid for such services in the not too distant past and have come to the conclusion that the bad ones are the ones who don't like my songs and the best ones are the ones that tell me what I already know, that they're great! smile

I've come to the conclusion that when I feel really good about a song, it doesn't really matter if an "expert" thinks it's good. If it makes me happy, well isn't that the point? If you're looking to pitch songs then you probably could use a coach because they can tell you what "sells", and all the "do and don't" things you need to know. And yeah, Marc is a good source of info. He's shared a lot with us here at JPF and other websites for free. If you want more one-on-one with him, I'm sure it would be even more beneficial.

But you're right, there are a lot of such services available. What works for one person may not work for another. The "best" one would be the one that clicks with you, that you feel comfortable with and you won't know that until you test drive them, kind of like buying a car...or dating! grin

Happy hunting.
