Works and writer data
Organise song titles, writers, publishers, IPI/CAE identifiers and composition splits from supplied evidence.
A1A PUBLISHING
Music publishing administration with clear rights records.
A1A Publishing supports the administrative work around compositions: identifying songs and writers, capturing splits, organising registrations and reconciling income evidence. This is a managed enquiry-led service, not an automated promise that a registration or payment has been completed.
Publishing administration areas

Prepare and track registrations and amendments with the relevant collecting societies, subject to account access and eligibility.

Common questions
Questions before starting
Is publishing administration the same as owning my songs?
No. Administration and ownership are different. The agreement determines what the administrator is authorised to do and which rights remain with the client.
What information will I need?
Song titles, writer names, writer/publisher identifiers, splits and existing registrations are a good starting point. Missing data can be flagged for review.
Will the service automatically recover all unpaid royalties?
No. Registration and claim outcomes depend on evidence, society rules, available records and applicable time limits. We identify and pursue eligible issues within an agreed scope.
Related services
The same project may need more than one music or rights workflow.

PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
Publishing data we review before administration
Composition and recording are different assets
A musical work has writers and publisher interests, while a particular master has recording-specific ownership and performer credits. A single song can have multiple recordings. Administration starts by separating these records instead of mixing IDs and royalty sources.
What we request for onboarding
Prepare song titles and alternate titles, writers and IPI/CAE numbers, ownership splits, publishers, ISWC where available, ISRCs for recordings, PRO affiliations and evidence of authority to administer. Missing information is flagged rather than guessed.
Our publishing administration model
A1A Publishing operates on a standard 15% administration commission under the agreed client administration contract. Actual rights, territories, collection scope, payment and term are defined by the signed agreement, not this website description.
How we investigate missing registrations or royalties
We compare work registrations, recording links and imported royalty or usage statements to locate evidence-backed gaps. An anomaly is an investigation lead, not proof that an amount is owed or recoverable.
