Artist's Representative​
Dr. Hoffman is expanding the services he offers to include being an Artist's Representative for composers and arrangers who seek to receive permission to set to music copyrighted texts and/or tunes, or to arrange copyrighted musical compositions. He has already begun to do so actively.
​
Dr. Hoffman typically researches the current disposition of copyrights to the extent possible using advanced web searches to achieve the desired contacts. Most of the time he is successful and enjoys sleuthing!

Dr. Hoffman can also help interpret or negotiate contracts with music publishing companies. While he is not an attorney nor a paralegal, Dr. Hoffman has extensive experience in this area. He routinely performed such tasks as part of his former role as Editor In Chief at ECS Publishing during the years 1998-2011.
