Forwards but no contact yet

I've had two forwards already. About a month ago but no contact yet? Any input?

There's a mantra around here... it is: "Write, Submit, Forget, Repeat"

Basically the best thing you can do is just keep making music and tryin to improve. Getting a forward doesn't mean you will definitely get contacted. All it means is that the person that made the listing through Taxi received your music.

It's completely up to them if they want to reach out and offer you some kind of deal. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. There's lots of factors involved, and we don't really get filled in on why we don't hear back. It's very possible you still may hear back from one of those forwards, but don't bank on it. Just keep making music and getting more forwards, and eventually the stars will align.

Best of luck!

Yes !

It's there for a good reason. Just follow the steps Andrew has laid out.

Two forwards is nothing. 20 Forwards and you might get contacted..or not.

Hi Festeel,

Yes...I completely agree with everything Andrew and Mark said...

I have had a few periods of nearly 200 forwards without a single contact back from a library.

Just keep writing!!!!!!

Tim
