What do I do with my songs?

 

    If you're looking to sell your songs, you need to get them out to people. Going to Nashville, LA etc. is considered the best way and getting face to face with these publishers, artists, recording companies. Another way is to mail them your demos. The songwriters market book is the best I've seen for that information. It lists addresses, phone numbers, web sites, e-mail addresses for many industry contacts as well as how they want you to submit information and what type of songs they're looking for. It does not list artists though. Publishers, recording companies, etc. is what you'll find along with tips on how to submit a good demo and look professional with your demo.
