General Submission GUIDELINES
If you are considering submission, please acquaint yourself with our existing catalog to help determine if your music might be a good fit for us.
We work to provide inspiring new literature to schools, churches, and private music studios. We are excited to review any submissions that you feel could possibly be of interest to these audiences.
Arrangements should only be submitted if the work is either in the Public Domain or the composer has already obtained written world-wide permission to arrange from the original copyright owner. If you are submitting a choral work, the text must be original, in the public domain, or used with written permission granted from the copyright owner. Material that is protected by copyright will only be considered if written permission from the copyright owner is included within the submission.
We do not accept submissions that are under review elsewhere.
