The more work you do on your brand beforehand, the easier it will be to get an agent and then a publisher. Be prepared to hear lots of nos and even silence, but keep your head up. If you have a rock solid brand, a great idea, an effective book proposal and determination, you will get noticed!
Join ASCAP as a Publisher if 1) you are already an ASCAP Writer, and want to also collect your publisher share of the royalties 2) You do not write music, but plan to publish the music of others. Get prepared! Consult the APPLICATION CHECKLIST to confirm what you will need to complete your application.
How do I get an IPI number? An IPI number is immediately assigned when you join ASCAP. You will find it listed in your Member Access account. Please note that IPI numbers arent assigned by ASCAP they are assigned on behalf of the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC).
Publisher in the music world just means copyright owner or administrator of the song itself. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, Harry Fox, SOCAN - are NOT publishers. These are companies that collect the broadcast (performing rights) money for songwriters so they can get paid when their music is used on radio and TV broadcasts.
IPI stands for: Interested Parties Information. CAE stands for: Composer, Author and Publisher. The IPI/CAE number is a publicly accessible international identification number used to identify participants on a work. Writers and publishers will be assigned a unique number for each name/AKA on file with BMI.

You can join a PRO as either a writer, a publisher or both. If you join as a writer, you will be issued a writer IPI. If you join as a publisher, the PRO will assign a publisher IPI. Self-administered songwriters can and should have BOTH a writer IPI and a publisher IPI.
