Publishing

The song is not the recording.

Publishing administration collects writer money for the composition. MYDistribution's 98/2 deal is the master side from stores we report. This page can ask a person about a partner. It cannot register your songs.

Steps before anyone signs

  1. 1
    Separate the song from the recording

    Delivery and the 98/2 deal cover master royalties from stores we report. Publishing is the writer's share of the composition.

  2. 2
    Your PRO is not MYDistribution

    ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, PRS, SOCAN, and others track public performance of songs. Keep your own membership. We do not replace it.

  3. 3
    Administration is optional

    A publishing administrator registers songs and collects some writer money, then takes a commission written in their contract. We do not have that partner signed on this site.

  4. 4
    Ask for a conversation, not a registration

    The form saves your writer name, PRO, and songs. It does not register a work and does not change your master split.

  5. 5
    Read any later contract before you sign

    Their commission comes out of publishing money. It is not the 2%, and the $10 release credit does not buy publishing admin.

What happens next
A person reads the request. If a partner path exists later, they will send the partner's own terms. Read that commission before you agree. Their commission is not the 2% and is not the $10 release credit.
