Great music publishers do much more than collect your money. They act as creative champions and business partners, helping you develop your skills and seeking out new opportunities for your music to shine. Publishers can have a huge impact on a songwriter’s career - but how do you catch their ear in a competitive music marketplace? This panel of executives from some of the publishing world’s most experienced players will talk about their role in a songwriter’s career, from seeking new talent to pitching your songs to getting you in the room with new collaborators. You’ll find out what music publishers are looking for today, and how to decide if a publishing deal is right for you.
