Publishing: KnowTheMusicBiz.com's "What Would John Doe Do?" blog

Hello Mr. Doe,

My name is Chris, and I am a struggling hack in Austin, Tx. Recently I have been involved in extensive songwriting with my chums, and the notion of publishing has come up repeatedly.

Here are my questions:
Is it worth the effort to wrestle through the stacks of paperwork required to maintain complete control over your works, or is it viable to give a publishing house 50% of your money to have them do the legwork?

If you were in my shoes... with a really strong band, really strong material, financial wherewithal and a vehicle, with no exposure outside of Austin, how would you start your assault on the masses?

Thanks for any advice.

Sincerely,

Chris B. Ware, Owner
