Submit Your Songs To A Variety Of Music Publishers



Many music publishers prefer to work with songwriters who have already been performing or publishing their songs independently. Submit your songs to a variety of music publishers so you can get your independent songs in front of recording artists, producers and other music industry professionals.

While these submissions may not result in a deal for your independent songs right away, they are an excellent way to build relationships and bolster your reputation as a quality songwriter. Submit your independent songs through any or all of the following channels:

1.Submit songs online directly from your website; include links to where people can buy them. Music publisher websites allow visitors to submit materials electronically, which is helpful if you do not yet have a strong network. Many sites also allow you to track submissions so you can see if the publisher has listened to your material. online songwriter contests; these contests are typically sponsored by publishing companies.

Submit your songs and include information about how people can buy them, if possible. While you should never expect contest winners to get a deal when they do not already have one, this is an avenue worth exploring to put your material in front of music publishers who may be seeking artists for their next round of recording contracts.

2. Submit songs directly from your website to blogs that cover the music industry; while it will take time for reputable blogs to take notice, your songs will be in front of both artists and music industry professionals. Submit your songs directly to the artists or music industry professionals you want to work with; musicians look for new material all the time and this is a great way to get early feedback from those who can make a difference.

3. Submit songs to music publishers and record labels directly; be sure to include any publications or other credentials that may interest them. You can find information about submission requirements on songwriter and publisher websites, as well as in a variety of books that are available at bookstores.

Submit through more than one channel so you have additional opportunities for your independent songs to be viewed and heard by music industry professionals. For example, submit your latest CD or download of independent songs directly to music publishers when it is completed or nearly complete, while also sending them out as promotional materials prior to that date.
