Publisher Share

Written by Chloe Dennet

The Publishers share, aka as or "publisher's share of performance," is the portion of performance royalties that is paid over to a publisher, publishing administrator, or to the songwriter if they are self-published. Performance royalty income is split evenly between the “Writer’s Share” and the “Publisher’s Share.” Each share is worth 50% of the copyright, hence if you are the only writer on your song then your writer’s share is 50%.
