DOVER, DELAWARE — FIELD DISPATCH · TEZLA PUBLISHING

An independent road for independent artists.

You write the music. We run the machinery between your music and your money — copyright registration, royalty administration, licensing, catalog. No major-label machine. Publishing is the front door here; our studio sits in the back as the engine room.

I. THE PITCH

Thirty seconds. Then you decide.

  1. You keep what's yours.

    Writer's share: 100% yours, always. Masters options that include you keeping them outright. No 360 deals, no merch cuts, no touring percentages. If it isn't publishing, it isn't ours.

  2. We handle the machinery.

    Copyrights registered. Royalties collected and accounted. Licenses pitched — your sign-off required on every one. Catalog hashed and archived from day one. The paperwork you shouldn't have to learn.

  3. Splits in writing, first.

    Proposed: 70/30 on licensing in your favor, mechanicals passed through, book royalties 70/30 net. Final numbers approved before anyone signs. Quarterly statements, math shown.
