Why does it take so long to receive publishing royalties

Although 9 – 12 months is a long time, this is a realistic timeline for setting up a publishing agreement, registering your titles worldwide, the societies processing your information, and finally, having our royalties department processing your payment.

You are paid royalties when you are owed a minimum of $5.00, which is the least amount societies and Songtrust pay out.
