• If you are a singer in need of new unpublished material for recording or auditioning purposes, you will be aware of how difficult it is to get original songs. • If you are a music publisher or manager in need of top quality unpublished material, then you will also realise just how scarce it can be when you need it. However, top-class ISA songwriters are only too happy to make top-quality material available for such purposes. All you have to do is to send an e-mail to us, containing some basic information, and we will happy to advise our writers of your needs. There are no fees involved - this is an absolutely free service. So how do songwriters benefit? Well, if your recording gets airplay, our members will receive royalty payments from PRS or ASCAP or BMI for broadcasts, and if you get a record contract and use their song, they will also get paid a royalty from the record label/music publisher involved. But either way, it will cost you nothing! The information which should be included is as follows.... [See the short SAMPLE TEXT at the bottom of this page to help you compose your message, but remember, any requirements can be included and the more information you provide, the better response you will get]. (A phone number helps sometimes - a writer can discuss your requirements with you) (2) The type of material you require (Style of song - male or female lead vocals) (3) The purpose for which you require the material (For example, is it for a proposed release, a studio master, a demo, or what? Remember, a copy of anything produced should be sent to the writer for his files) (4) For whom you require the material (If not for your own use, provide the name of the act or performer who will be using the material) (5) Will you return unsuitable material or not? (Usually most offer to return unsuitable material but only if a stamped reply envelope is enclosed) As soon as you let us know what your requirements are, we will inform our members through our Private Members Site and through our publication "Songwriter Magazine", allowing them to contact you directly Please use the e-mail button below the sample text "Singer Mary Wills urgently requires a song in the uptempo Britney Spears style, for demo and possible record release.
