Make Your Publisher’s Job Easy (Chat with Michael Laskow)

Make them say YES!


When we pitch our cues to libraries, we want to make the process as smooth and painless as possible, so on today’s episode, I sit down and chat with Michael Laskow,@TAXI Independent A&R, who works with publishers every day, and we discuss what we composers can do to reduce friction when it comes to getting our music into libraries.

Plus, take a listen to “Tradecraft,” an espionage tension cue written by 52 Cues Community member, Youssef Rddad.
