Young Publishers Seek Same

The Society of Young Publishers in the UK is getting serious about trying to create cross-cultural connections. Plans are afoot try and organize a new Web portal for young publishing professionals across the globe.

“We think that young people in publishing – whether they are just starting out or have years in the business– can benefit from networking across borders,” said SYP chair Jon Slack. “Initially, we’ll link the English speaking countries, but there’s no reason we can’t go international very quickly. Ultimately, we hope it can lead to such things as mentoring, internships and job swaps.”

The SYP is an all volunteer organization and needs your help. Anyone interested in participating in or assisting with the as yet unnamed project, should get in touch with Jon Slack directly. He can be reached via email at jslack at thesyp dot org dot uk
