The SCL provides a variety of informative and useful materials for writers and lyricists:

• Developed by Steve Winogradsky for entry level composers and small production companies, these short forms are user-friendly, plain-speak agreements that address the crucial deal points in longer agreements and can be readily used as a basis for a final agreement between parties.

• A helpful and current listing of SCL members willing and able to serve as an intern, tech, or helper. Occasionally, people and companies seeking help are also listed.

• Submitted by SCL website users, the links provided in this section are all industry-related.

• In this two-part series, Garry Schyman explains performing rights and what you need to know as the composer or songwriter.

• The SCL presents well-known composers' words of advice (in QuickTime format) on working in the film, TV, and game music industries.

• Read the Society of Composers & Lyricists' formal position on the subject of Joint Works.

• Dispel the myths and learn the facts about "The Special Payments Fund" and how it affects musicians, composers and film producers.
