Hi, Billie Kay
There are several options for you to chose from in determining how to proceed to find a collaborator here at the ramp.
You can post your lyric or lyrics at the lyric lounge forum which is designed for completed lyrics that are ready for someone to place music to and hope someone will come along and contact you, but that is unlikely, or you can post them in something similar in what I believe is a collaborator's forum also at the ramp which will more than likely get the same results, or you can do what I have recommended to other writers who want people to critique their lyrics when there are no bites. I tell them to contact people directly in a private message here at the ramp. Tell them what you want and ask them if they will help you . But, before you do that I would become familiar with the site, start talking to people, including a professional in the industry we have on board named Marc Alan Barnette (see MAB forum). Once you've become acquainted with folks, then start directly asking some of them (sending a private message to a member) if they'd be interested in putting music to a lyric you've selected for them, but spend some time checking profile pages on folks before doing this. (Some members record their own material, others do not). That's how I would proceed. Worst anybody can say is no or I'm busy and or they just don't get back to you even after promising to work with you but you never hear from them again. Lol, Most here are friendly and helpful. But, keep in mind, this is my personal opinion and not that of anyone else at the ramp. In fact, some might even feel differently.
I hope this helps! : ) Not trying to preach, but you did ask what to do next. These are only my thoughts as a writer like you.
Again, unlike some of the other sites out there, the ramp is friendly and people are respectful and most will help if they can.
