After 15 forwards I've got my first email

Post by Rolf » Wed Mar 16, 2022 4:25 pm

After 15 forwards I've got my first email from a library.
Although I have 50+ tracks accepted by libraries (direct contact) I'm very happy to get a positive reaction from a library because of taxi forwards. For me its a milestone! They like to have more of my music in their catalog. Let's see what happens.
To be honest, I've started to doubt if a forward means anything. LOL

Yeah it averaged about 20 Forwards per contact for me, but not every contact turned into signing with those libraries.

There were a couple that didn't work out for various reasons.

Good luck and hope the library is a good fit for you.

Thanks, I've got the contract already. They try to place it for an ABC series. Fingers crossed. :o

Well that would be good news because Network TV backend is better than cable

I'm in constant communication with this library now. They accepted more of my dramedy tracks. Seems to become a very promising relationship.

Signed 6 tracks with them. The two forwards and the two not-forwarded I've changed a bit according to their liking and produced two more.
