Founded June 9, 2012, FDPublications promotes the work of talented contemporary composers by encouraging the composition, recording, and distribution of American music, especially the integration of contemporary elements into classically crafted works, and believes that all people have the right to experience the art music of our time. Founded originally as a self-publishing company by composer Franklin Piland, FDPublications has since extended its services to include marketing, publishing, and music type-setting and engraving for all composers.
The company boasts a "shared copyright" standard, where the composer retains copyrights along with the publisher, and has a say in how their music is presented, sold, and used at all levels of the process. Composers who publish with FDPublications may publish either exclusively or with other publishers (if they allow non-exclusive publishing).
