Making Music Make Money : An Insider's Guide to Becoming Your Own Music Publisher

Customer Reviews

While this book does not go into depth on copyright law, contracts, or basic business law, it doesn't pretend to be an all-in-one end-all-be-all on the subject of music publishing or entertainment law. In actuality, its true forte is in that it looks at music publishing from an entrepreneur's POV. It is a simple read that walks the reader through a number of things that should be considered by the entrepreneur who wants to run a successful music publishing company. And speaking as one who deals with songwriters and producers frequently, it is mandatory that music publishing be understood and even utilized to gain maximum compensation for your works.

The book assumes that you have a few songs under your belt in which to begin your catalog. If not, it discusses ways in which songs can be acquired. I commend Eric Beall for putting this book together. He has done much of the groundwork thinking so that you, future music publisher, can be further along in planning your business.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the practical elements of the music publishing business and how they can be achieved by the novice attempting to create a career in songwriting and/or music publishing.
