Resources for Publishers
We are determined to make the Living Composers Catalog the number one resource on the Internet for music by today's composers. But we know we can't do it alone. Help us out by listing the compositions by living composers from your catalog in our database, and we'll help you out by sending business your way. As performers, music retailers, schools and music libraries access our database and find your compositions listed, we'll let them know how to contact you and order copies of the music. It's a win-win situation.
We've gone out of our way to make it easier for you to submit your catalog of works to our database.
Resources available:
What is this going to cost? That
depends on your level of involvement. Our first tier - a basic listing complete
with all the basic statistics for all of your works will always be FREE. Why?
We are collecting this information as part of our ongoing research efforts at Quest Haven
Publishing anyway. We may very well post basic listings of your works on our site on our
own initiative through our research efforts anyway, but if you send that information to
us, it will make our efforts that much easier.
Of course, maintaining this site is not without its costs, and our researchers put in lots
lots of hours in our efforts to make this site useful to the many music students, teachers
and professionals who visit it. You can help us fund these efforts by choosing
some of our for-a-fee options or increasing your level
of participation in The Living Composers Catalog.
Our per-composer rates can be found
on our For Living Composers
pricing page. However, we've also come up with some special rates for
publishing companies that handle several composers and choose to list larger
quantities of works than the typical self-publishing composer. These special
"bulk" rates are available for a limited time as an incentive to
help us build up our database. Take advantage of this opportunity now, while
these great rates are still available.
Involvement in the LCC is designed in four tiers:
Tier I - Internet Listing
Already mentioned above, the first level of involvement in the LCC is a listing of your works in our Internet database. This is a simple listing - including basic statistics about each work and your contact information so that customers can contact you to purchase a score and parts.
This level of participation is FREE. You can
register an UNLIMITED number of
works in The Living Composers Catalog at no cost.
Options:
For an additional charge we will include cover
art, sample score/part
pages and/or streaming
audio of your work with your listing. about our bulk rates for these options. These options add value to your listing, because they help visitors to the site become more familiar with each piece of music and increase the chances that they will be interested in purchasing it. Tier II - Internet Listing and
Print Catalog Quest Haven Publishing produces
a print version of the Living Composers Catalog on a quarterly basis*. This
catalog is mailed to clients and potential clients including music retailers,
performers, schools, music libraries and other interested parties who request
a copy. Cost per quarter: $180 for the
first 40 works (from at least 5 different composers), $3 for each additional
work. Limited Time Special:
