Music publishers are concerned with the development, promotion and protection of the interests and rights of songwriters and composers. The function of a music publishing company is to find, invest in, develop and support songwriters and composers, manage the rights in the music, enable the music to reach its many audiences and ensure that writers and composers are properly remunerated.
This is done in a variety of ways including encouraging record companies to record and release material and licensing works for synchronisation (i.e. agreeing the use of msuic in a film or advert) and print (sheet music).
Music publishing jobs tend to fall into a number of broad categories, the majority of which require musical knowledge/experience.
