Hi Tom

How are you, I remember you from when I first started posting here at JPF.

So now I'm gonna ask you some questions if thats okay, cause this Aussie girl is all new to the music industry, and it frightens me a bit, the not knowing I mean.

1) Can I put my songs into as many publishers as I want?

2) If your songs are good enough, how come we have to put them to publishers, why can't they contact us, for an example, how come we don't have publishers here on JPF, cause there is heaps of talent here?

3) Wouldn't it save them time, just to jump on board here, and teach us unexperienced songwriters how it all works hah, cause to me that would be so cool, to learn and understand more about the music industry would be great, and also how publishers work. They have great home pages advertising what they do, but that still makes me nervous, cause I still don't understand it all.

4) I know from what I have learnt here on JPF that they take 50%, but what do I get for all my hard work, how much does my producer get, who is so talented, can I work a deal with them that we all give up a small percentage for charity, like Mental Health etc?

5) Am I making sense?

I'll be back later, I am a bit tired from work, I will think about what else I would like to know, when I'm not so warn out.

Thanks Tom
