I just called a publisher to correct an address change (I recently moved). A small royalty check ($200 and change - for the 1st half of 2005) went to my old address. I have not worked through this publisher in a while.
Publisher tells me he had lost contact info (he claims he does not even know how the $200 check found its way to me). Turns out there's a few hundred $$$ of international royalties that have been sitting around since 2002 (from a direct to video film that went to the Euro market).
You can't always assume ASCAP or any other group will find you - so you need to check in from time to time. A small business lesson for you newbies (and not so newbies).
As a bonus, the publisher is looking for some material come January 2006 - so I now have something to force me to write more!
