THE MUSIC.

FOR IT.

Publishing royalties exist for every song you write. Most independent artists never collect them. FOF Publishing registers your catalog, tracks your splits, and makes sure every dollar finds its way back to you.

HOW IT
WORKS

Five steps. No confusion. Just results.

  • 01
    Apply

    Tell us about yourself, your catalog, and your goals. We review every application personally. Decision within 2–3 business days.

  • 02
    Get Reviewed

    Our team evaluates your catalog, your PRO status, and your ownership documentation. We reach out if anything needs clarification.

  • 03
    Submit Your Songs

    Once approved, submit your catalog. We handle registration, clean up metadata, and lock in your split documentation.

  • 04
    Track Your Royalties

    Publishing income from streams, sync, radio, and live performance all tracked. You see where your money comes from — clearly.

  • 05
    Get Paid

    Your royalties, collected and distributed on schedule. No chasing. No confusion. Your music earns — you see it.

PUBLISHING
IS MONEY
YOU'RE OWED

Every time your song is streamed, played, licensed, or performed — publishing royalties are generated. Without a publisher, most of that money never reaches you.

1
🎵
What Is Publishing?

Music publishing covers the composition copyright. Every song has two copyrights: the master (your recording) and the composition (the song itself). Publishing pays separately from your distribution income.

2
💸
Why Artists Lose Money

Songs not registered with PROs don't collect performance royalties. Unregistered splits cause disputes and delays. Missing metadata means platforms can't trace income back to you. It adds up fast.

3
📋
Splits & Metadata Matter

Undocumented splits become legal problems. Incomplete metadata means royalty systems can't find you. FOF Publishing fixes this before it becomes your problem.

4
🏗️
Independents Need Infrastructure

Major artists have teams handling this. Independent artists often have nobody. FOF Publishing gives indie creators the same infrastructure — without signing away creative rights.

5
🔑
Ownership Stays With You

FOF Publishing is an admin deal, not a full rights transfer. You keep your catalog. We handle the administration. The difference matters — and we're on the right side of it.

6
📈
Your Catalog Is an Asset

Songs compound over time. A record that earns modestly today can generate significant royalties years from now — especially if it gets a sync placement or goes viral.

Long-Term Infrastructure

FOF Publishing isn't a one-time service. It's an ongoing relationship — designed to protect your income for the life of your catalog.

WHO THIS
IS FOR

IF YOU
RELEASE
MUSIC

You're writing the songs, recording them, putting them out — but without publishing admin, a significant portion of what you earn stays uncollected. FOF Publishing closes that gap.

  • You release original music (singles, albums, EPs, mixtapes)
  • You write or co-write your songs
  • You want publishing royalties, not just streaming income
  • You're not signed to an exclusive full-publishing deal
  • You want to build catalog value over time

IF YOU
MAKE THE
BEATS

Producers are songwriters too. Every beat on a released song earns publishing income. Without admin, that money disappears. FOF Publishing ensures you collect your share.

  • You produce beats that are commercially released
  • You have production credits on streamed or distributed songs
  • Your split agreements are (or can be) documented
  • You want performance and mechanical royalties collected
  • You're building a production catalog

IF YOU
WRITE THE
WORDS

Songwriters who don't perform their own music are often the most underpaid people in the room. If your words are on a released record, you're owed publishing royalties.

  • You write lyrics or melodies for other artists
  • Your songs have been commercially released
  • You have writing credits (or can document them)
  • You're registered with a PRO (or ready to register)
  • You want to turn your catalog into a revenue stream

GOT
QUESTIONS

Music publishing is the administration of the copyright in a song (the composition). When your song is streamed, played on radio, performed live, or licensed — publishing royalties are generated. Publishing administration ensures those royalties get collected and paid to the right people.
Yes. FOF Publishing operates as a publishing administrator, not a full rights acquisition. You retain ownership of your compositions. We handle the paperwork and collection — you keep your catalog.
We don't charge upfront application fees. Our model is structured around your royalty collection — not barriers to entry. You'll receive a clear breakdown of how our admin structure works once you're approved.
Absolutely. Producers are songwriters under copyright law. If your beats are on released records, you have publishing rights and are eligible to collect. We welcome producers as full applicants.
Ideally: at least one commercially released song, PRO registration, some form of split documentation, and distribution on at least one major platform. Don't have all of this? Apply anyway — we'll tell you what to get in place.
No. Your distributor handles your master recording income (streaming, downloads). FOF Publishing handles your composition copyright. These are two separate income streams — you need both.
Sync licensing is when your music is placed in TV, film, ads, video games, or other visual media. It generates a one-time sync fee plus ongoing performance royalties every time that content plays. FOF Publishing considers your catalog for these opportunities.
Application review takes 2–3 business days. Once approved, onboarding and song registration typically takes 1–2 weeks depending on catalog size. We move fast without cutting corners.
