Like many other questions to do with the music industry (or anything to do with the arts, for that matter), this has fairly simple steps to explain, but rather hard to actually put into practice.
Get rep, get contacts. In this case, get to know people in the industry - as people - and join choirs, musical productions, et al. to get experience. Backstage crew or minor singers in the big ones if there's any vacancies, get the directors/conductors to know you a little bit through hard work and loyalty. When the directors/conductors know you well enough (whether it's a big-name director/conductor or not), ask for their references to show to a -small- music publishing company, and then work with them. Small music publishing companies will give you enough experience to go with one of the bigger ones.
But it's hard work, like anything else - unless you get a massive stroke of genius and submit an amazing piece of work - an incredible song track or something. Or if you get a bunch of people together, get them good, and have your very own sample choir/theatre music etc etc. (If theater, the community theatre can be a good place to start.)How does a person get a job singing for music publishing companies?
