Q: I am starting my own independent publishing company and am searching for an administrator. How do I go about finding a good one? What are the basic jobs of an administrator and where do they find money?
You can advertise in any number of music trades like Billboard or contact organizations that deal with music industry employment (NARIP, for one) to find someone to handle your publishing catalog (if you’re willing to pay a salary). Publishing administrators wear many hats, from trying to place music to collecting money to making sure the paperwork is up to date. Administrators find money in anything that uses music—film, TV, advertising, web sites, ad infinitum.
