Before you write

The questions we get most

How do I license a Harlan Howard song?

Write to us through this page and mark it Song licensing. Tell us the song, the use, the territory, and the term. Harlan's catalog sits across three publishing entities, so the first thing we do is work out which one holds the copyright you need.

Can I use a song in a film, a show, or an advertisement?

Often, yes. Sync requests go through the same form. Include the scene or the spot, the length of the use, and when you need an answer, because sync timelines are usually the tightest ones we handle.

I have a photograph, a tape, or a story about Harlan. Do you want it?

Yes. The archive is still being assembled and the best material has always come from the people who were there. Mark it Permissions and archives and tell us what you have.

Where do I ask about an order?

Same form, marked An order. Include the order number if you have one.
