[Finale] TAN: Engraving/copying opportunities in NYC?

[Darcy James Argue]

Hello all,

I am looking at moving to New York in the upcoming months and I was hoping to draw on all your collective knowledge and experience -- what engraving and copying opportunities exist in NYC, and what would be the best way for someone like myself to get in on the ground floor? I mean, obviously, Broadway musicals and film score composers need copyists, for example, but -- well, forgive my naiveté, but how does one go about breaking into that business? What about publishers? Carl Fischer and G. Schirmer, of course -- anyone know if those companies are using Finale? Are there other publishers I should be submitting my CV to? Also, is there anything like a directory of freelance copyists that I would be able to get my name on? (Perhaps the Musician's Union has something... ?) I am used to building up a client base largely through word of mouth, but that alone isn't going to pay the bills in New York, at least not in the early going.

As always, your advice is greatly appreciated.

- Darcy
