Don't ever pay a pub to licence your songs. A reputable publisher will sign your songs because they can see a return and think your songs are good enough. I've signed a few publishing contracts and never paid for the privilege. They're touting for business and will have emailed another hundred artists along with you. Sorry for the negative feedback but that's the general rule - A decent publisher worth having doesn't ask for money, they make your songs make money for you both.
