The Plain and Simple Guide to Music Publishing, 2nd Edition

The Plain and Simple Guide to Music Publishing, 2nd Edition Review

This book is a just the facts approach to music publishing. The writing is at about a sixth grade level (which is the same reading level of Billboard and the Hollywood Reporter) to allow for easy comprehension by anyone. If you already know about publishing, this book won't have anything new. It's an ideal resource for a teen band that's getting buzz and needs to know about all those contracts and deals that are starting to come their way. Just like the title says, the book is a plain and simple guide. It's not designed to entertain, but inform. It's a slender book that isn't going to deluge you with a lot of unnecessary detail and jargon. Given its low price, I'd recommend this book to any songwriter or composer just starting out as a professional.

The Plain and Simple Guide to Music Publishing, 2nd Edition Overview

Publishing is one of the most complex and lucrative parts of the music business. Industry expert Randall Wixen covers everything from mechanical, performing and synch rights to sub-publishing, foreign rights, copyright basics, types of publishing deals, advice on representation and more. Get a view from the top, in plain English. This updated and revised edition has been prepared in light of the ever-changing landscape of music publishing, taking into account factors like illegal downloading and recent announcements from the Copyright Royalty Board. With an added "DIY" chapter, the author demonstrates why the playing field has changed for the traditional copyright adminstrators, and how musicians just starting out can protect their own work until they hit the big time.
