Submissions

MusiCurate publishes a bi-monthly classical guitar magazine, editorial features and a growing catalogue of graded sheet music, with publishing ambitions across instruments. We welcome pitches and submissions from artists, composers and arrangers. Here is how to reach us.

Feature and interview pitches

We profile musicians whose stories deserve telling: performers, ensembles, teachers, luthiers and the people shaping music today. Send a short note about who you are, links to your work and recordings, and why your story matters now. Pitches connected to a new album, project or tour are especially welcome.

Album reviews

We review recordings in the magazine and on our Journal. Send digital review copies only: a streaming link or a download link, along with release details and one or two lines about the recording. Please do not mail physical copies unless we request them.

Publishing submissions

Composers and arrangers are invited to submit works for publication. Classical guitar is the heart of our catalogue, but we publish for all instruments and welcome solo, chamber and pedagogical works of every kind.

Send a PDF of your notated score along with a recording or video performance, and a short note on instrumentation and difficulty. Our sheet music is graded from Level 01 to Level 10; if you can place your work on that scale, it helps us, but it is not required.

Why publish with MusiCurate

MusiCurate is a publisher with an editorial voice. A published work joins a graded catalogue browsed by teachers and students, and it arrives with the infrastructure of a magazine behind it:

  • Professional engraving of your score to our house style
  • Living editions: every refinement to your engraving reaches past purchasers free, so your published work only improves
  • A composer page with your biography, headshot and complete MusiCurate catalogue
  • Placement in our browsing collections, including Canadian Composers for Canadian artists
  • Editorial opportunities across MusiCurate, The Classical Guitar Magazine and our Journal
  • Print, PDF, print-and-PDF bundle and Studio Licence editions of your work, sold worldwide

Publishing terms and royalties are discussed individually with composers whose works are selected.

How to submit

Email everything to music@musicurate.com with one of the following subject lines so your submission reaches the right desk:

We read everything we receive. Because we are a small publisher, we respond only to submissions we are able to pursue. Thank you for understanding, and thank you for thinking of MusiCurate.
