Yes. A songwriter does not need to own 100 percent of a composition for Elizabeth Music Group Publishing to represent the publishing interest that the songwriter legitimately controls. Modern songs frequently have multiple writers and producers, so fractional ownership is normal throughout the music industry.
If a client owns an agreed percentage of a composition, Elizabeth Music Group Publishing can use the relevant split information to represent that client’s publishing interest. Accurate splits are important because the combined ownership of the composition must be properly documented and registrations should reflect the interests of the participating writers and publishers.
During onboarding, the company asks clients for known splits and catalog information. Split sheets, producer agreements, songwriter agreements, or other documentation can help establish the correct ownership. If information is incomplete or conflicting, the team may need to research the work before a registration or correction can be completed.
Elizabeth Music Group Publishing represents the rights its client actually owns rather than assuming ownership of another writer’s share. A collaborator can remain represented by another publisher or manage their own interest separately. This allows a producer or songwriter with partial interests across many songs to build a represented catalog even when they are not the sole writer on those records.
