General Advice on Submitting Music Materials:

1.  Always send a photocopy of your work, never the original.

2.  We need the score to be engraved, and we prefer it to be on 8” x 11”.

3.  If you submit material with previously copyrighted music or text, permission for use of that material must be included with the manuscript.

4. You should either submit the score by regular mail or by email as a PDF file or a file in one of the following music engraving programs: “Sebelius,” “Finale,” or “Score.” 

5.  If you have a recording, please submit a hard copy that is either a regular CD or an MP3.  Or if you are sending electronic files, please steer us to a recording on the Web.  Do not send a CD or tape in lieu of the manuscript.

6. Submit only 1-3 manuscripts at a time and include a cover letter. 

7. Be sure your full name and address appear on the letter, the manuscript, and the CD or cassette tape if there is one.  The best possible care will be taken with your material but we are not responsible in case of loss.

8. Include an addressed envelope with sufficient return postage if you want your materials returned.

9. Do NOT send verses, poems, or other text requesting that they be set to music.  We do NOT provide this service or recommend composers for this work.

10. It is not necessary to seek copyright protection when submitting a manuscript to a reliable publisher.  The publisher attends to this when the composition is published.  If you wish to publish your music personally and desire to know about the copyright law, full information may we secured from the on-line information at the Copyright Office or by contacting the Register of Copyrights, Library of Congress, Washington, DC 20559.
