Originally designed as a simple demo submission tool for songwriters, SendUsSongs.com continues to evolve to provide songwriters even greater opportunities for success! It is true that you can still submit demos online to the publishers registered at SendUsSongs; and that the cost per submission is well below the cost of one trip to the post office to submit demos the old fashioned way. And now, in addition, you can have your songs played and sold to the world at SongwriterRadio.com!
