Seeking musical theatre composers - a job post by Robert D. Carver

About the job

Seeking trained, preferably experienced Musical Theater Composers (and all that entails) for more than a dozen SPECULATIVE, COPYRIGHTED projects for which I've written books & lyrics (libretti) individually covering a wide range of topics, historical eras and geographic locations, from Mythical Ancient Greece to Early 21st Century Urban. 

UNLESS A PROJECT IS OPTIONED FOR COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT TO EITHER THE COMPOSER OR MYSELF. IF I WERE IN A POSITION TO PAY MY COLLABORATOR, I MOST ASSUREDLY WOULD DO SO, BUT THEN I WOULD "OWN" ALL RIGHTS IN THE MUSIC. THE BEST DEAL I CAN OFFER IS A 50-50 SPLIT ON THE AUTHOR'S ADVANCE AND ALL ROYALTIES INSTEAD OF THE STANDARD 2/3 TO ME FOR BOOK & LYRICS (LIBRETTO) AND ONLY 1/3 FOR THE MUSIC.

IF THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, PLEASE, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME--OR MINE--BY APPLYING.
