A deal !? (I think?)

[mdekkers]

Has anyone else had the experience of being contacted by a library showing interest and then... nothing? They even emailed me a dummy agreement to review, and instructing me that if I was happy with the terms to let them know and they would send an actual agreement, which I did. I've sent two emails since requesting a follow-up response, but nothing. Any comments?

First time I've heard this, Let us know what happens

I've never heard of something like this happen to anyone yet, but that is strange. Keep us posted.

Sometimes the folks get busy with whatever it is that they do, for instance a big project could have come through right at the same time that they sent you the contract and they might have had to focus on that for a few days. I suggest being patient and waiting a few days before following up. Small libraries are often started by composers who have excellent connections because of previous work they've done for networks, etc. but they are pretty much doing most of the work of running the library themselves. Put yourself in their shoes (I'm not implying that your deal is with such a library, but some of my best placements have come from these types of deals) and cut them some slack. They were interested enough to send you an example contract so you're in the game, but they may be doing any number of things to make their library better and they'll get back to you eventually.

Just some info from my own experience that you may find helpful.

Congrats on the deal!!
