This course shows you how to become a Successful...

Songwriter,
Artist-Songwriter,
Producer-Songwriter,
and/or Publisher

Step by Step, in Simple, Easy-to-understand "People Talk," Including How to Negotiate Songwriter/Publisher Contracts...

If you wish to become a successful Songwriter [the Creative end], you should know how the Music Business operates and the correct steps to take, in the right order, to achieve that success, including possibly, the right Publisher [including yourself] to help you on your way.

Likewise, if you wish to become a successful Music Publisher [the Business end], you must choose the "right" Songs and Songwriters [including yourself], and know what steps to take for you to successfully help yourself move up the "Road to Success".

Simply put, the left hand must know what the right hand is doing [or should be doing] and each must know and understand the Music Business plus everything they can about the other side, if they wish to become successful on their side. Both "jobs" are very important, even if you're a Songwriter who is or wants to be their own Publisher.
