| You may be right about this writer. However I'm not sure BMI would have helped... have any of their bookwriting students gone on to be part of anything notable that was good, or anything notable at all? I'm sure many talented and skilled writers go through the program but I can't think of a single one who went on to any notable success in book writing yet. Are there any? | |

| There have been some--Brian Yorkey, Howard Ashman, Lynn Ahrens, Michael John LaChuisa. If there is a lack of other names, I would see that has having to do with lack of opportunity. How many musicals have had books by writers who were successful in writing plays or screenplays and then got asked to work in the musical form? It's easier for a songwriter to get his/her work out there than a bookwriter, and the truth is, it's hard to write the book of a musical. Having some training can only make it better. | |

| Sorry I should have specified... I meant recently, like in the last 20 years even, but certainly the last 10. Not to mention that all of the people you listed were at BMI as composers and/or lyricists, unless I'm mistaken. And without checking, I feel like BMI didn't even have a bookwriting department until after the people you listed had completed their composer/lyricist program. Anyone know? | |
