Every songwriter needs their own Master Publishing account and to pay the Master Publishing setup fee separately. This is because each songwriter needs to agree to the terms individually. This account is where your royalty information and payments will be posted.

**Remember, adding co-writer shares for a composition doesn’t sign up those co-writers for Master Publishing. If you’re collecting royalties on behalf of other co-writers, then they do not need to create a separate MasterStreams, account and pay the Master Publishing fee.
