- a three-part series on the business of music, songwriters, and music publishing -

Verse One: Copyright & Collaboration – Protecting Your Work and Earning Money

We will also explore songwriter collaboration – common oversights made during the process and the importance of a songwriter agreement.

• What is a copyright and how do I get one?
• How do I make a living from my songs?
• What should I know about collaboration before I embark on one?
