If you have an original composition or an arrangement or edition that features the trombone prominently (i.e. solo trombone, trombone with accompaniment, trombone ensemble, etc.) and would like to have it considered for publication by The ITA Press, please use the following procedure:

1. Submit a camera-ready copy of the composition to:

   Bill Rose
   Chair, ITA Press Committee
   118 Frazar Street
   Lake Charles, LA 70605
   USA
   

   If you have a copy of the work in a MIDI file or composition program such as Finale, a diskette containing the file should also be submitted.
   
   The ITA Press will not accept handwritten manuscripts, or in the case of arrangements or editions of public domain works, the ITA Press will not accept photocopies of public domain scores or parts (the editor/arranger must produce a new, never published version of the public domain scores or parts in camera-ready format).
   
   You must send an audio cassette, compact disc or video cassette recording of the entire work for it to be considered for publication. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that recordings be of performances by real trombonists, and not synthesized sounds. Once submitted, all copies of scores, parts, cassette tapes, video tapes, compact disks, and floppy disks become the property of The ITA Press and will not be returned to the composer/arranger.
   
   
2. Upon approval by the ITA Press Committee, the Committee Chair then sends a contract to the composer specifying the agreement with the ITA Press.
   
   
3. Once the signed contract is returned to the Committee Chair, the manuscript's title and composer's name are entered in The ITA Press Catalog and will be advertised quarterly in The ITA Journal, a publication that reaches nearly 5,000 trombonists worldwide.
   
   
4. The composer receives a 20% commission for each manuscript sold, payable at the end of the fiscal year.
   
   
5. The composer may withdraw the composition from The ITA Press at any time by sending a written request to the Chair, ITA Press Committee.
   
6. The composer retains copyright of the work but permits The ITA Press to produce copies of the work, set the price, distribute copies, and collect fees.
   
   
7. ITA Press publications are printed and distributed by the Southern Music Company, on behalf of the ITA.
   
   

Compositions are printed on high-quality, 60-pound, acid-free paper.
