I purchased Randall Wixen's "Guide" on a whim, having never made a cent off of my home-brewed ditties and not sure I ever would. Now, nine months after moving to Los Angeles, I'm approaching a meeting with a major 'performing rights organization,' and I couldn't be armed with a better tool.
In his "Plain and Simple Guide to Music Publishing," Wixen sets forth in lay terms the basic in's and out's of the music publishing world. He demystifies this piece of the industry with clear examples and makes palatable material that we "creative types" often leave untouched. Importantly, he does it with humor and panache--the stuff is actually readable.
At minimum, you'll finish the book feeling like you at least know how NOT to get screwed in this music publishing arena; at maximum, you'll feel ready to set up your own publishing company, collect every penny off of your art, and take over the world.
And hey, if you don't believe me, just flip through the Foreword, penned by a local little songster named Tom Petty.
