James Elliott

Workshop Recap: So You Want A Songwriting Deal?


[From NSAI's Thursday Workshop -- February 28, 2008]
Most songwriters are eager to sign their first publishing contract, but wait.  Before you put your pen on the bottom line, make sure you know what to expect from a publisher, and what he or she will expect from you.  Do you know the difference
between a single-song contract and a staff publishing contract?  This valuable information was the basis for James Elliott’s Guest
Speaker presentation at the Nashville Workshop Feb. 28. James won a Dove Award for “His Eyes,” and his songs have appeared on
more than 10 million records by artists such as Steven Curtis Chapman, Shenandoah and The Oak Ridge Boys.  James is an Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Songwriting at the Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business at Belmont
University.  For a lesson in contracts, click the headline above
