We want to share with writers the importance of having their works published and benefiting to them.The key to a good contract is clarity.Formal agreements are essential and under copyright law, without a written agreement signed by the author, the publisher does not control 100% exclusive rights.Keep in mind that we are negotiating and working on a very long term relationship with our writers.If the song is successful, the author is entitled to the revenues from the song for the life of the copyright.Copyright lasts for life of the author plus another seventy years after the death of the author in which the heirs e.g. spouse, children or parents are to receive the royalties of the work.
