Publishing

Hi everyone,

I assume there are some published/aspiring composers here, so I have a simple question - I want to find out more about how the music publishing world works, are there any good resources on the internet out there? Maybe I'm not that good at searching the internet because I barely found any information. More specifically, I am interested about the printed music publishing world - like composer rights, publishing process, the legal aspects and contracts, etc.

Any lead will do.

Thanks In Advance,

IMSLP has long pages explaining publishing copyrights and composer's rights. And you can find links there that will link you to other (some governmental) pages with relevant information. :)
