Why does everything always have to be a catch 22? I started a Kickstarter to raise funds to hire a composer/lyricist for the Musical I am writing, but no matter how much I tweet or post to Facebook, I can't get anyone to donate. Several companies offer to promote my project, but I have to pay them t...

Expand commentWhy no sample of the music? Why no connection with popular social causes.? C’mon, Cathy. You seem like a bright person.

Expand commentCathy,
You can just write the text, and pitch that direct to stage directors. They may know someone who can do the music. Mozart wrote his operas to existing texts.Disney's screenplays are written before the music. You just use the parenthetical (singing). Sample scripts are online. Most musicals are written as a script first, and the music is added later by the production company (unless the composer and lyricist know each other.)
Ask yourself a question, are you a writer, or a producer? If you're just a writer, then getting the music isn't your job.
