Go beyond expression. Write songs that examine, challenge, and inspire.
The F Word Workbook places feminist principles at the center of songwriting craft. Written by Valerie Orth, Assistant Professor at Berklee College of Music, it guides songwriters through five chapters, from claiming identity to creating feminist anthems.
Each chapter offers focused prompts and practical tools, including repetition, reclamation, and making the invisible visible, to help writers turn lived experience into intentional, powerful songs.
For songwriters of all levels who refuse to stay quiet. For all genders.
The F Word Workbook is available in two editions. Pair it with the F Word Journal for an expanded songwriting and reflection practice.
