Example book review:
"Imagine having happened upon Dylan singing in Harvard Square, or having caught one of Joni Mitchell's early shows at an empty club. This is how I felt reading Liz Moore's lyrical and powerful debut novel, like I was witnessing a true and timeless artist on the verge of transcendence. The Words of Every Song is a virtuoso performance. These beautifully rendered characters are melodies that echo in your head, chords that reverberate in your heart, and long after you've turned the last page, you can still hear the audience calling for an encore."
- Bret Anthony Johnston, author of Corpus Christi

About the book:
From a rising singer-songwriter, a sparkling, literate debut novel that brings an insider's touch to its depiction of the music industry and its denizens.

The Words of Every Song is a fresh and original novel in the form of fourteen linked episodes, each centered on a particular character involved with the music industry in some fashion. There's the arrogant, self-consciously hip, twenty-six-year-old A&R man; the rising young singer-songwriter; the established, arena-filling rock star on the verge of an early midlife crisis; the type-A female executive with the heavy social calendar and a bit of a habit; the ambitious aspiring rap producer; the virtuoso soundman; and other recognizable figures. Each of these installments offers a sharp, character-driven vignette that eventually resolves into a rich portrait of a self-enclosed society, a fluid but structured world of mortals and musicians.

Set in the sleek offices, high-tech recording studios, and grungy downtown clubs of New York, The Words of Every Song offers the pleasure of a convincing authenticity drawn from Liz Moore's own experience as a performer. All of twenty-three years old, she is clearly a rising star, whether seated at a word processor or with a guitar in her hand and the spotlights on.
