Besides being a Publisher of printed music, Sounds Write serves as Debbie Friedman's publisher, administering the copyrights for all of her compositions. We grant permission for the use of Debbie's music and enter into license agreements with individuals, organizations or companies who wish to record, publish, print, duplicate, transcribe or manufacture any of Debbie's original music or lyrics. We collect any royalties due, make sure appropriate credit is given, and retain copies of any products where Debbie's work appears.

We work diligently on behalf of Debbie and all those involved in the field of Jewish music to promote artist recognition and credit, copyright protection of their creative material, and monetary compensation for use of their work. Ten years ago when Sounds Write was just beginning, contemporary North American Jewish composers rarely received royalties for the use of their songs. We have tried to elevate the perceived worth and value of these talented individuals while raising the standard of professionalism in the field of Jewish music.
