So you tune into MTV everyday, you read Rolling Stone in class, you live at the local record store and all you think about is when your own rock star fame will come in. Perhaps you already have a band or maybe you're still looking into how to get started; either way, So You Wanna Be a Rock Star? will help you on your way to success.

Unlike many music guides, this book was written with young musicians in mind.

There are no confusing chapters on calculating royalties, no examples on writing songs like Led Zeppelin and no guy talk. One of the most redeeming things about So You Wanna Be a Rock Star? is that there are interviews and tips that are just for girls. Whether you want to launch an all-girl band like M2M or think you could be a singer like Gwen Stefani (her brother Eric writes the intro to the book), you'll get to hear stories about other girls who perform in their own towns.

While reading So You Wanna Be a Rock Star? you may get all psyched up about your future possibilities but don't forget the chapters that tell you how to make those dreams more likely to come true... Especially the one labeled Rock Star Secrets. It gives advice on how to find band members, what songs to play, how to handle your fan club, and how to make a demo.

Along with tons of useful info and tips, there is one chapter covering a very important part of being involved with music -- or anything you do. You will learn how to keep your band-mates as friends and enjoy what you're doing. After all, if fame and fortune don't happen, you'll know you and your friends had a blast being your own rock stars.
