SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT

We are always pleased to hear from composers and writers who would like their work considered for publication. Ideally music will be submitted in electronic format (e.g. Sibelius), while a recording (however basic) also helps to give us a better idea of your work. Categories we are particularly interested in include:

  • Original music for learners of all instruments, particularly pieces that would be suitable for the exam board syllabi.
  • New arrangements of classic pieces and out of copyright works.
  • Modern recorder music from beginner to advanced, and recorder arrangements of classics

As we are a small independent company with limited capacity to bring new works to the market please be prepared for long delays in responding to your submission, and the possibility of rejection, which is most often for reasons of time and budget rather than the quality of the music.
