The Admin Deal vs. Co-Publishing Trap

“A major publisher just offered me a deal. I’m signing it right now.”

Most traditional co-publishing deals ask you to permanently sign away 50% of your copyright in exchange for an upfront advance. That advance is a loan. You pay it back out of your remaining royalties. If you recoup, they still own that half of the copyright forever. You sold the house to borrow against the furniture.

Administration keeps the copyright

RightsTune offers an administration deal. We take a small fee to collect your money globally, and you retain 100% ownership of your copyrights. No assignment. No “we own this until the heat death of the catalog.” Never give away your life’s work for a quick check you will earn back anyway, minus the piece you can never get returned.
