Hi!
I finally got a forward after 2 years. I also come with placements from my past but it has been 10 years since I have had a publishing deal (way too long ago) and my royalties are slowly dwindling!
I just upgraded to taxi dispatch.
Hoping I find some success !

Congrats! A forward means your music is of the quality Taxi feels it's clients would consider. Next step is to go write some more because the process is lengthy. You might hear back from the library in the next couple of weeks, you might not hear back in a few months, or you might not hear back at all. Hence the Taxi mantra, "Write, submit, forget, repeat!"

It means... You got a forward.

Seriously, congrats! It means you can make tracks that pass the bar. Keep at it!

Best,
Casey

Hi Tom,

I like your recommendation to margomaybaby that she also try to submit her songs to libraries directly but how does she get the contact details of the various libraries?

Thanks

Nigel

There's about 2,000 of them listed on Google - Many of them have a page about how to submit to them. Make sure to follow their directions as not every company likes to receive submission sin the same way.

Tom,

What does one search for in Google?

You could do a search for "music libraries" or check out MusicLibraryReport.com.

Another thing to do is find tv shows that use music in the genres you can deliver. Watch the ending credits and often you will see something like "Music provided by..." with the name of a few libraries. Then you can google those libraries, visit their web sites, check to see if they are accepting new composers, and then strictly follow their processes as Cosmicdoplhin suggested. But ONLY submit to them if your music is ready, otherwise you will burn that bridge. How do you know if your music is ready? Post some here in the Peer to Peer section for feedback.

Best of luck!

Congrats, Margomay! Keep up the good work, writing, submitting, forgetting, and repeating! And everyone has good advice here for you! Some I intend to take, too!

Congrats!

Congratulations keep claiming the stairs, the elevator gets you there much faster but with the stairs you'll appreciate the journey.
