If you need words for a song for pitching to an artist, or to supply to publishing companies, I generally prefer to work from an Mp3 with the vocal line sung with gobbledygook, or nonsense lyrics (preferable in English). A written brief or a telephone conversation is usually enough to give me a good idea of what is required.

I am happy to collaborate with other writers and producers but unfortunately I can only accept commissions that have a guarantee of release or from writer/producers who are contracted to a publishing company.

I also work as a lyrical consultant, mostly for foreign artists wanting to break into the UK or American market. Generally the artist is an accomplished lyricist, however, some lines of a song may be grammatically correct but sound strange to English speaking person. The song may simply need a few lines to be improved. A common mistake, for example, is jumping from past to present tense. Sometimes the words just need to flow a little more.

More often than not, the artist will need help with the phrasing and pronunciation during the recording and as I have worked as singer/musician and producer for many years I feel more than qualified to give support with this.
