February Album Writing Month

The FAWM challenge is simple: 14½ songs in 28 29 days. Why?

"You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club." — Jack London

If it is inspiration you are after, then FAWM is your club. Each February, this website forges a collaborative community of thousands of musicians worldwide, from all walks and skill levels. We take on the challenge of writing an album's worth of new music in the shortest month of the year. We fawmers are a motley mix of music professionals, students, homemakers, and folks who work day jobs and rock nightclubs. Questions? Check out the FAQ.

Four-year bonus: 2012 is a leap-FAWM! That means one extra day to write an extra half-song (a collaboration with someone new)! That's social songwriting at its best...
