Publishing

[Dick]

Does anyone here work in the publishing/management side of the music business by any chance?

I am trying to help someone I love

That's a pretty broad request, any chance you could narrow it down a bit, what is it you're actually looking to do?

Well I'm enquiring on behalf of my boyfriend.

Basically...we've moved from belfast to london last sept to give our best shot in our chosen fields. His being music, mine acting.

I have been lucky enough to get myself a freelance job with one of the best casting directors in the business, which has resulted in 2 of my first, albeit small, roles. One of which is in a hit fox show. That coupled with getting a new agent on their recommendation has resulted in me being basically lucky since arriving.

Barry hasn't had as much luck as I have but it hasn't stopped him writing and creating new music. Some of which blows my mind.
He is now in that difficult stage of trying to get a publisher to listen to his work, much like an actor trying to get an agent. No unsolicited material etc makes it difficult for anything to get heard or seen.

So I decided to try looking to help him out as he is working and I am currently, ahem, resting.

So we're looking for a publisher to listen to his work to potentially take him on as a song writer.

Sorry Monstro, I may have made that way more of an incoherent ramble than I intended. Hope it makes sense, if not I'll try and clarify some more.;)
