Do Publishers count? A few years ago I sent a new publisher, in Music city some songs. He passed on them but told me that there were many other publishers I could submit to. No problem. I assumed I could submit songs sometime in the future. Three years later he was still listed in the Songwriter's Market accepting unsolicited material so I sent him some new songs. He replied that I should not submit any songs to him and to submit my songs elswhere. I was flabbergasted. Many Publisher's pass on songs but no one ever told me to send no more songs to them. I have from time to time received unsolicited feedback praising my songs and that I could submit anytime. This person has since disappeared from the Songwriter's Market so maybe he told one too many songwriters to "stuff it".
