I have a home studio, am flexible on revisions, and I'm a multi-instrumentalist so I play guitar, keys, drum program, sing, etc.

I typically get a demo, and if it's not "in the box" yet will do a rough demo / chart the tune out and go back to make sure we're on the same page with the form / arrangement, etc. "Songwriting" as a service is somewhat overlapping my other services, so we'd need to talk about what all I'm providing at the end of the day, since I do write at an instrument, produce, and arrange, we kinda need to know together what we're going for.
