Really need some good advice.

[lee4]

Hello all,
I recently left the band I helped form(South Of The City)due to not being able to give enough time to them,and looking back I realize that what I really enjoy is writing and co-writing songs.
Having trawled the net looking for advice on how to get songs published,and finding mainly US based ads for publishing services that look "too good to be true",I thought I would ask the cornucopia of all things sensible and musical that is BC!
I would love to earn some cash from my songs(I'm not under the illusion that this will become my main source of income),but I don't know quite where to start.
I have a portfolio of lyrics to be used/published and need some pointers as to where to begin.
Many thanks.
