Quick facts

Global admin support across major royalty flows

Trust, verified

Operational proof you can verify

We show the operating standards our team uses to keep collection and reporting accountable.

Direct society registration

Works are registered directly with major U.S. and international collection societies, covering virtually every royalty-collecting territory worldwide.

Active dispute and catalog repair

When a work is mis-registered, over-claimed, or split incorrectly, our team handles the counterclaim process directly with the society. Catalog repair is part of the service, not an add-on.

Line-item reporting you can reconcile

Every statement is traceable to source. Which work, which society, which period — with CSV exports anytime.

Direct human contact

You work with a named contact who knows your catalog. No anonymous ticket queues, no escalation mazes.

Operational trust standards

Every registration request is status-tracked from submit to resolution.
Support responses include concrete next actions and owner accountability.
Statements and payout flows are traceable through line-item reporting.

Where money gets lost

Most royalty loss is quiet: delays, metadata errors, and no visibility.

Unanswered tickets

When support stalls, fixes stall, and unresolved issues can block collection momentum.

Confusing statements

If reporting is hard to reconcile, it's hard to trust what was collected, or what was missed.

Registrations that stall

Split conflicts and incomplete metadata can keep works pending for months, especially globally.

Missing back royalties

Past periods are often recoverable, but only when catalog data is clean and tracked consistently.

No status visibility

Creators should not have to wonder what is registered, pending, or blocked.

Publishing is the music industry's best-kept secret.

People say there's no money in the music industry. The truth is there's a lot of money in the music industry — it's just that most creators were never taught where to find it.

Publishing royalties get generated every time a composition is played, streamed, performed, licensed, or covered. They flow through a maze of societies, territories, and reporting cycles that was designed for major publishers with full-time administrators — not for independent artists trying to figure it out on their own.

Most of the creators we work with had been making music for years before anyone sat down and explained how any of it actually worked. Some of them were quietly having their share collected by a distributor, a former label, or an old publisher — and couldn't see it happening because the system doesn't make any of this visible.

That's not a reflection on them. It's a reflection on an industry that doesn't make this stuff easy to understand.

Your catalog is earning right now. We'll show you exactly where that money lives, register everything that isn't registered, clean up anything that's wrong, and make sure every dollar your works generate from this point forward lands where it's supposed to.

A note from our founder

I started Worldwide Music Publishing because I kept meeting talented creators who had no idea publishing royalties existed, let alone how to collect them. Not because they weren't paying attention — because nobody had ever explained it to them in a way that made sense. The music industry keeps publishing intentionally opaque, and most independent artists pay the price for that.

We built this company to be the opposite of that. When you sign up, our team personally reviews your catalog. We show you exactly what's generating income and what isn't being collected. We register works that should have been registered years ago. When we find disputes or over-claims on a work, we'll show you what we found and walk you through the options for getting it corrected with the relevant society. We actively pitch your catalog for sync placements in film and TV. And you get a named contact — a real person who knows your catalog — not a ticket queue.

If you want to know what we can actually do for your catalog, book a free audit and we'll walk through it with you. No commitment. No sales pitch. If we're not a fit, we'll tell you that too.

FAQ

Everything most creators ask before they sign up

Do I keep ownership?

Yes. 100%. Always. You retain full ownership of your compositions and masters. Worldwide Music Publishing administers collection on your behalf — you can cancel any time and all your rights stay with you.

How soon will I see royalties?

We start personally reviewing your catalog the day you sign up. Registrations get queued and metadata gets checked right away. First statements from societies typically arrive within one full reporting cycle — usually 60 to 180 days, depending on the territory. We show you where your catalog is at every step.

What if my works have split conflicts or wrong registrations?

This is one of the main things we actually do. When a work is over-claimed, mis-registered, or has a split conflict, our team handles the counterclaim and correction process directly with the society. Catalog repair is part of the service, not an add-on.

What if nobody's ever explained publishing royalties to me clearly?

That's the most common starting point for the people we work with. The music industry doesn't make publishing easy to understand — it was designed around major publishers with full-time administrators, not independent creators. When you sign up, we walk you through exactly what your catalog is generating, what's currently being collected, and what isn't. No jargon, no assumptions. You'll understand your own publishing by the end of the first conversation.

What if someone else might be collecting my share without me knowing?

This happens more than people realize. A distributor, a former label, an old publisher, or a mis-registered writer split can result in someone else receiving income your catalog is generating — often without any clear way for you to see it. One of the first things we do during a catalog audit is check for exactly this. If we find it, we'll show you exactly what we found and explain the correction options available with the relevant society.

Are you a PRO?

No. PROs collect specific performance royalties. Our team focuses on publishing administration and cross-source collection workflows.

Do you collect internationally?

Yes. International administration is core to the service, where complexity often causes the largest delays.

Can you collect past royalties?

Often, yes. We can help identify claimable gaps where data and society rules allow, but results vary.

What do you need from me?

Your works list, writer splits, and identifiers (if available). We help fill gaps and standardize metadata.

How do splits work?

Splits define ownership shares for each composition participant. Accurate splits are critical to matching and payout correctness.

How do I leave or cancel?

Your agreement terms govern offboarding. We aim for clear, practical offboarding workflows with transparent communication.
