Why a Co-Publishing Deal with Elizabeth Music Group Could Be the Best Move of Your Career
If you’re a producer, songwriter, or artist making real music with real momentum, it might be time to consider a co-publishing deal — one that doesn’t just collect your royalties, but actually supports your creative career.
At Elizabeth Music Group, co-publishing isn’t just a legal structure — it’s a creator-first approach to publishing, built by people who’ve been in your shoes. Let’s unpack what makes a co-pub deal valuable, and why EMG’s version is different from the rest.
What Is a Co-Publishing Deal, Anyway?
A co-publishing deal is a partnership between you and a publisher where:
You keep 50% of your publishing rights
You keep 100% of your writer’s share (performance royalties)
The publisher gets 50% of publishing income in exchange for support and services
Unlike traditional publishing deals — where you might give up full control of your catalog — co-publishing lets you maintain a bigger stake in your songs while still getting expert help to collect royalties, land placements, and grow.
In short: you stay the creator, and you stay in control.
What Makes EMG’s Co-Pub Model Stand Out?
Here’s why Elizabeth Music Group’s co-publishing deals go beyond just splitting revenue — and start building real creative infrastructure around your work.
1. Education-First Mindset
Other publishers collect your royalties. EMG teaches you how it all works — so you actually understand how your money flows.
When you join EMG, you gain access to:
Curated publishing and royalty education tools
1-on-1 guidance on sync, metadata, and rights management
A team that handles registrations and optimizes your songs globally
2. Worldwide Royalty Collection
Your music travels further than you think — and it should get paid for it.
EMG uses global pay sources to track and collect your royalties across all territories. Whether your song is played in Berlin, streamed in Tokyo, or synced in a Brazilian ad — EMG is working to make sure you’re not missing a dime.
3. Active Sync Licensing Support
You don’t get placed by accident — you get placed by having a team that pitches you.
With EMG’s co-pub deal, you get:
Access to real-time sync briefs from TV, film, ad, and gaming partners
The ability to submit custom work for pitch opportunities
Feedback on how to make your music more sync-friendly
EMG works directly with trusted sync agencies and music supervisors — and they’re constantly looking for music like yours.
4. Creator Community + Daily Support
When you sign with EMG, you join a private Discord community that operates like your virtual publishing office.
Inside, you’ll find:
Live team calls Monday–Friday
Loop libraries, collab requests, and beat opportunities
Sample requests, sync updates, and metadata tips
Exclusive tools to grow your skills, network, and impact
Publishing doesn’t have to be a mystery. EMG makes it transparent and collaborative.
5. You Still Own Your Writer’s Share — Always
This is crucial: in every EMG co-pub deal, you retain 100% of your writer’s share.
No exceptions. No loopholes.
That means:
You stay directly connected to your PRO (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, etc.)
You get the royalties you’re owed
Your name stays attached to your work — legally and financially
6. Tailored, Fair Terms — Not Cookie-Cutter Contracts
Your music career isn’t like anyone else’s — so why should your deal be?
EMG works with each creator to craft flexible, individualized terms based on:
Your current catalog
Your momentum
Your long-term goals
There’s no one-size-fits-all here — just real partnerships built on respect and strategy.
7. Built by Creators, for Creators
EMG was founded by TheZachMichael, a producer and songwriter who was frustrated by outdated publishing norms: unclear payments, predatory deals, and zero transparency.
So he built what was missing — a creator-led publishing company that empowers music professionals instead of exploiting them.
“I built EMG for the exact kind of creators I came up with — the ones doing it all themselves, building catalogs, making real music, and needing real support.”
— TheZachMichael

Whether you’re just stepping into publishing or ready to scale, EMG gives you the tools, team, and trust to grow — without giving up control.
