Soundtrack: The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls

Music is a huge part of my writing process — especially film scores.

While outlining and drafting, I compile a soundtrack that follows the story scene-by-scene, basically providing me with a musical template as a foundation for the actual writing.

Below, you’ll find a few selections from my current soundtrack for The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls. I hope this gives you a richer sense of what this story will be like, and, more importantly, I hope you enjoy listening!
