I've had publishers now and then and also represented alot of my own catalogue. I've had some decent film/tv placements and a few cuts, but really don't have the time to keep doing all the marketing.

I'm looking for a very reputable and discriminating song plugger/shopper. Someone to shop to a few select artists and also, perhaps, film/tv and for commercial usage as well. (I have a combination of demos and finished masters, so there's diff. ways to shop them).

Most of my songs are more adult-oriented, diff. styles. I'm not being a snob, but don't want someone who will just represent anyone---I'm hoping there are a few out there who really take clients carefully according to the music they love and their demanding standards.

While I know a large number of songpluggers work the Nashville circuit, I'm up for someone who can deal with a varied catalogue that's strong for covers.

I read that ASCAP may have a list of reputable ones. Anyone know if that's true.

Any ideas appreciated. Thanks so much for thinking it over.

The ASCAP office in Nashville has a list of songpluggers. I don't know if they officially recommend them, or vouch for them. I'd would say it is up to the writer to investigate and make up their mind about whom they are comfortable with.
