GOODNIGHT KISS SUBMISSION AND PITCH POLICIES: Our company works with single songs of master quality, and style is determined by what the Industry calls us for at the time. Since we publish mainly for Film, TV, and our own special projects that we produce, our needs are varied, but time-oriented and specific.

We do occasionally use instrumental songs. (We can only place what the Industry is requesting at the time.) We sometimes license a master without any publishing interest; other times we ask for material as music publishers, for our own catalog.

All requests are truly a case-by-case basis, depending on what is requested from us. To see what we are looking for and when we are looking, you need to subscribe to our email Newsletter. It is the ONLY sane way of communicating with all the writers who send us inquires. It comes 1-3 times per month, by request only, and is loaded with pro articles, great Q&A, special software links, and often a pretty good opportunity or two for pitching material. It is truly the only way we can quickly inform everyone when an immediate call is requested.

We charge a $3 per year subscription fee, as it's about the only way to avoid all the spam.

There are no charges to pitch us, but we only listen to the styles we request before posted deadlines. All requests have a deadline and specific submission information.

Beginning writers and artists should read through the articles listed at: www.goodnightkiss.com/articles.html

I recommend:
"Don't Dream It, DO It" - http://www.goodnightkiss.com/dream.html
and
"The Blue Dress" - http://www.goodnightkiss.com/dress.html

We also occasionally list other publishers looking for things in the newsletter.

Sorry, but please do NOT send anything we don't specifically ask for. Understand that we get, literally, 350 - 700 emails per DAY, asking career questions, discussing industry practices, requesting that we review material -- and the truth is, it is ONLY the paid uses of our song catalog, along with the sales of our fine products, that keeps our company alive.

It is from those earnings that new projects are created, and new music might be licensed -- so that is where we must spend our time.

If you've inquired about becoming a friend on MySpace, our site there is: www.myspace.com/music4tvandfilm and we're happy to approve all musicians requests.

If you are advertising a product, service or show, ask about our affordable ad rates in our music newsletter that goes to over 6,500 loyal double-opt-in subscribers. Ads start at $50.00. Thanks again for considering Goodnight Kiss.

ANY SUBMISSIONS NOT CODED OR IMPROPERLY CODED ARE DISREGARDED.

We no longer accept "generic" sends, as our business is built around the SPECIFIC requests that we receive from our contacts in the Industry. We can only use what we ASK for.

ANYTHING THAT IS UNSOLICITED WILL BE DISCARDED. This is any package without a code.
Thanks for understanding.
