Publishing Administration Overview

If you do not have a publishing deal and your music is being distributed and performed worldwide, your publishing royalties are sitting in collection societies worldwide, waiting to be claimed by you. The problem is that in order to collect these royalty payments, you need direct relationships with each society in each territory. Doing this takes time, paperwork, and a lot of upfront fees. Worst of all, if you don’t register in time to collect your publishing royalties, the collection societies will retain the royalty payments, and you will miss out on additional revenue. Publishing Administration with Songtrust can help with this! You, as a songwriter/artist, should spend your time creating, not pushing paper! 

With our service and partnership with Songtrust, you pay a one-time $100 signup fee, and you retain 85% of the royalties earned! 

If you are affiliated with ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or SOCAN, that is not a problem! You can remain a member with them and join our service –Songtrust collects royalties in addition to what they collect (all income types – not just performance)
