Single Song Assignment

Fillable PDF Editable Word (.docx) Instant download

When a publisher takes on a single composition, this agreement makes the transfer clean and unambiguous — covering the assignment of copyright, territory, term, royalty split, advance, and the warranties that protect both sides.

It gives the songwriter the confidence of clear terms and the publisher a defensible record of ownership. Everything that tends to get argued about later is decided here, in writing, up front.

Delivered as a fillable PDF and an editable Word file, so you can adapt the split and terms to the deal in front of you.
