ATTN: SONA MEMBERS!

Join us on February 17th for our next Lunch and Learn - our virtual series exclusively for SONA members that showcases experts in our field with a guided conversation and member Q&A. This next installment will cover the topic of "Don’t Leave Money on the Table: Songwriter Publishing Basics"with Jai Yoko, SONA Co-Chair of Education, Consultant, Mentor, Publishing Admin.

Being an independent songwriter means you’re not just writing the song — you’re also protecting it, registering it, and making sure you actually get paid. This panel breaks down the admin and publishing side in plain language: what needs to be registered, where it needs to live, and why it matters. We’ll cover PROs, splits, writer/publisher shares, the MLC, songwriter metadata, and the common mistakes that keep money stuck or missing. You’ll leave with a simple checklist you can use for every song so your catalog stays clean, your rights stay protected, and your royalties have a clear path back to you.
