- I have or know someone who has a demo - who do I send it to?
We are unable to accept unsolicited demos or music that we haven't asked for from you directly. Typically, the material we select from for our artists is found by our talent scouts, given to us from our publishing company, or other established contacts including producers and songwriters. We encourage you to keep performing and recording.
The GMA Academy can help you get started in the Christian music industry -- for more information check them out under Events at GospelMusic.org. - How do I get an accompaniment track/Choral Arrangement for a song?

Older Word Records products, if they are still being manufactured, can typically be ordered through your local Christian bookstore. If you have tried there and can't find it, sometimes ebay can be a great resource. Also, Word Records and its sister labels offers the majority of their materials online via iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, and similar Digital Service Providers. You should check there. If you still can't find it, you should go to http://www.worddistribution.com/ and see if it is still in print. - I'd like to do an internship at Word Records. How do I get more information on that?
