The Plain And Simple Guide To Music Publishing
About
Music publishing is one of the most complex parts of the music business, and yet it can be the most lucrative area of income for musicians. Expert and industry veteran Randall Wixen has adapted this edition of THE Plain And Simple Guide To Music for the UK marketplace. It is written for the lay musician/songwriter but contains enough substance to be worthwhile for those already holding positions within the business. Topics covered include everything from mechanical, performing, and synchronisation rights to sub-publishing, foreign rights, copyright basics, types of publishing deals, advice on representation, Neighbouring Rights and more. Get a view from the top, in plain English.
Praise for this book
"This is a great book that ANYONE in the music business ought to read. Even if you're never going to enter the world of music publishing at least you'll have an understanding of how that part of the business works.
Written by one who's been there and done that, Wixen is clear and concise in his explanations of the publishing business. If you're going to have music published, you'll now understand how the business works, and what you need to know and do to make money from your music and publishing.
I believe the money in the music business has always been in publishing, not in performance or record deals. You can still profit from your music even in an age of digital distribution."
