Preparing for a Conversation About Your Works

Thinking about discussing your works with Massive Music? Start by identifying what you need and gathering the information you already have.

This guide will help you prepare for an initial conversation. It is intended to help you organise your questions and relevant information, not to confirm that an application has been accepted or that Membership has been activated.

What Should You Prepare?

Start by noting the work title, songwriter names, the specific version of the work you’re referring to, and any known contributions.

Separate information you can confirm from details that still need clarification. If you have supporting documents, keep a record of their sources and dates so you can refer to them when needed.
This checklist is a starting point to help you prepare for the conversation, not a complete list of service requirements.

Start with Your Current Relationship

Never discussed Membership before?
Write down what you’d like to discuss in your first conversation.

Unsure about your previous relationship with Massive Music?
Flag any details that need clarification rather than assuming your Membership is active.

Previously a member?
Include any history you know so your current needs can be reviewed in context.

Already an active member with additional works outside your initial process
Separate this need from a first-time Membership conversation. Your active status and the works in question will still need to be checked.

What Happens Next?

A clear note of your needs and questions can help you prepare for the conversation. Keep contracts and personal information private, and don’t post them in public comments.

Your needs and possible next steps will be reviewed according to the scope and authority of the relevant service.

Important Information

Submitting information does not automatically mean your application has been accepted or your Membership is active. Outcomes and processing timelines need to be discussed based on your needs and the relevant review.

Before your conversation, prepare one private note covering your needs, relevant work information, and any questions that remain unanswered.
