The hot shows change every year. Call an agency and ask an agent's assistant for which series they're recommending their clients write sample scripts. ("What shows are you telling your clients to spec?") Generally you want to pitch a relatively new show.

Well what happens if you don't get my song in a movie or TV show,etc?

Manic Noize FAQ
Obviously we cannot guarantee song placements for you. When we approve your tracks, we can only guarantee spots on the compilation and that it will be mailed to our database, but we can only expose your songs to the music supervisors. When it comes to actual placements, they call the shots in that department, not us. We do however direct them from time to time to certain bands/artists that meet a certain criteria that they specifically ask us about. But they always make the final call.

Back to top 21)How do I get paid from film and TV usages?

Hit Citi Music Productions
That varies widely depending on the kind of show or film using your music. Money is earned in two ways: the licensing fee, paid up front to the writer/artist, and the performance royalty, which is distributed to the writer by a performing rights organization ( ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC in the U.S.). No performance royalties are generated on theatrical showings of films in the U.S.A. (though they are paid in other countries), but when the film is aired on TV, you would make your performance money.
