Writer's Split Sheet Example

Congratulations!  You've found yourself writing a song with a co-writer (or several)! One of the ways to prevent or curtail problems in the future is establishing who owns what portion of the song. A Writer's Split Sheet will help! However, there are many different ways to draft a Writer's Split Sheet, so it is highly recommended that you seek the advice and counsel of a qualified legal representative (ideally an attorney who specializes in Music/Entertainment Law or Contract Law).  Here is an example of a typical Writer's Split Sheet.
