The Pen Game Portfolio: Vol. 2

The Pen Game Portfolio was created for independent artists, songwriters, and producers to learn how to make money with their music without the assistance of a record label. If you’ve ever wondered how to get your music in TV shows, movies, and advertisements, this is the book for you. I’ve even included the names of companies that I’ve worked with, so music creators can send demos out to them. This book goes in-depth about what artists should expect from potential managers, breaks down the pros and cons of your favorite distribution platforms, and includes a list of companies that are funding independent artists with upfront advances - without signing over your master ownership.
