Kick off our Summer School series with a look at the essential types of music publishing deals every songwriter and independent music publisher should understand. This session will break down the key components and distinctions between common deal structures – from co-publishing to administration agreements – including regional variations often seen in Nashville and the UK. We will cover what rights are typically granted, how income is divided, and a few key clauses to watch for. Whether you are negotiating your first deal or reviewing your current catalog setup, this session will provide a clear, practical foundation.
