North Carolina Songwriters Co-Op

The North Carolina Songwriters Co-op (NCSC) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the support and promotion of songwriters in the state of North Carolina. We are celebrating our 11th anniversary this year. The NCSC assists new and established songwriters by providing a supportive environment, including resources for marketing and promotion, the opportunity to network with other songwriters, the chance to assist with and participate in our annual song contest, and to attend our seminars and workshops designed to enhance songwriting and performing skills.
