That's decent going. I would be pushing to sign a lot more tracks to those 2 doors you've opened though

Re: 3 Forwards Recently - No Word From Library
Congrats on the forwards. I heard a good saying during the Road Rally. Something like "Write, Submit, Forget, Repeat. This was great advice for me to get back to writing more. Best of luck on the forwards.

Some advice here:

Basically, put some tracks on a streaming service and write a polite email.
Though the article linked above assumes you have no current connection with the library, it can only help if you do!

Re: 3 Forwards Recently - No Word From Library
You mean even if our track gets forwarded to a library, we can pitch it somewhere else or even on taxi? The forward does not include a signed contract? All that stuff on the brief. I guess that's not binding even if we get forwarded. If the library puts our music in their library, is our status more than "forwarded" ? Sorry I am new to this biz and can learn all I can. As you can see, I am a newbie here. Please excuse my ignorance. I'm a very late bloomer.Casey H wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 6:41 pmHi!
Like Graham said, you may hear in days, weeks, months, years, or never. It's quite common to have forwards with no contact. As far as whether to pitch to other listings, YES YES YES! Keep pitching until you have a signed contract. A forward is not a deal. As a friend said, it's a "favorable introduction".
Good luck!

Hi Brian. They will/should not put it in their library without contacting you and presenting you with a contract, which you then have the option to sign or not. Once you sign, you have a "deal" -- that is the next step beyond "forwarded". Then, if someone actually uses it, you have a placement. That is the ultimate goal.BrianSteel wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 9:08 pmYou mean even if our track gets forwarded to a library, we can pitch it somewhere else or even on taxi?

Re: 3 Forwards Recently - No Word From Library
The most important part of a contact from a library due to a Taxi listing is the relationship created. Almost always, once you sign anything with a library, they will be interesting in hearing more from you.
Polite emails with LINKS to songs (a Soundcloud or Disco playlist for example) are best. NEVER email mp3s unless they are specifically asked for. They clog up people's mailboxes.
