The
Composers
Graphite Publishing
has chosen a specific niche in the music publishing market. This is
true in terms of how we publish, and it is just as true in terms of
who we publish.
There are many accomplished composers who have chosen the profitable
but difficult and time-consuming path of self-publishing. These composers
either want the financial rewards of earning 100% royalties on their
work after cost, or they want the flexibility of bypassing traditional
music publishers and selling their own wares. Graphite is the
middle ground between that and publishing through more traditional
companies.
Graphite Publishing helps develop a composer's name and recognition,
and consistently demonstrates that the names of Graphite Publishing
and the composers it represents are synonymous with quality, excellence,
and accessibility.
We are also creating and bolstering a community of composers linked
together by the Graphite name. This community is important to both the
individual composers and to the consumer.
For the composer, the success of any piece published under the Graphite
name means more business and activity for the website (the only place
to acquire Graphite music), which in turn means more attention to other
Graphite composers.
For the consumer, the Graphite community represents a selection of quality,
hand-picked composers who are offering the best of contemporary music.
Having established this image, it is easier for a consumer to try out
other Graphite composers, knowing that they will get quality material.
Exclusivity
Graphite Publishing
does not wish to represent a composer exclusively.
In other words, we do not want to publish, sight unseen, everything
one of our composers writes and forbid him or her to go to other publishers
with those pieces. We still want to be selective of the pieces that
get published through Graphite for consistency of the company's artistic
image.
We also want to stress that just because a composer currently has other
pieces published through another publishing house doesn't mean he or
she can't also submit works to Graphite. Just as mentioned above, we're
more interested in developing a composer's name and recognition, and
having that composer represented by more than one publisher simply increases
visability.
