Masterclass topic: An Introduction To Music Publishing.
Music publishing is about working with songwriters, managing their copyrights and collecting their royalties. The two creative areas of music publishing are A&R, which is identifying and working with songwriters, and synchronisation which is getting the songs to get used in TV, films, advertising and games.
