I have several cues which have been returned because they were, "not on target" for listings. It is my belief that they are still usable to a music library. Having no experience submitting to music libraries, I would welcome any recommendations and/or advice as to what libraries can be trusted and how to approach them.

Post a link to your music.

If the screener said your production/writing is up to par and it's just an issue of not being the right fit, you can still submit them to new listings as they come up. When I get returns it's usually for that reason too—and usually the screener will throw in a line about why it's not a good fit. Use that to inform your future submissions.

I'm still navigating the library journey myself (and we can't mention any names on the forums) but thorough research goes a long way. Make sure the deals are legitimate (get familiar with common contracts), research the kind of music they are placing (and whether they're a good fit for what you do) and research their recent placements.

Hope that helps a little.

Post that link.

Thank you, Anna, for the reply. I didn't know about not mentioning sites. I'll try to do better next time.
