A publishing company helps songwriters manage their compositions, they also ensure that anybody involved in the music making process get paid for the use of that same music that they played a part in making, and helping with song registration. Their deals involve services like licensing, collecting royalties, and getting your music synced with TV, films, and other media. Some of the royalties a music publisher collects are performing royalties, mechanical royalties, and sync royalties.There are three common types of publishing deals, which are:
1. Full publishing deal: the music publishing company wholly owns the music rights.
2. Co-publishing deal: publisher and author share equal ownership of the music.
