Creative tools
Author Plug-ins
One area of development at Lyrics.fan lets you explore your story in the style of a lyricist or writer. Each plug-in is trained exclusively on that author’s catalogue.
Each plug-in is individually negotiated with the author or rights holder, with fair compensation agreed with them.
Using a plug-in is optional. You can develop and submit your own lyrics or, if you wish, use one to adapt them to a creator’s language and expressive techniques.
When you choose to use one, the Lyrics.fan model provides for crediting that author as a co-writer of the resulting lyrics.
For the fan
A tool to develop their writing and explore new possibilities whenever they find it useful.
For the author
Their style contributes to new lyrics, expanding their catalogue through co-writing.
For the artist
Submissions that bring together a fan’s story and a professional author’s writing techniques.
