WelcomeThank you for visiting the Society of Young Publishers’ website. We are a non-profit organisation providing information and events for people interested in the publishing industry. Established in 1949, the Society is open to anyone in publishing or a related trade, in any capacity, or who is hoping to be soon. Originally aimed at the 18-35 age bracket, we realised that many people are looking to change careers at any stage of life. As such anyone interested or working in the publishing industry is welcome to join the Society. The only exception is that those who have been in the industry for more than 10 years are not able to stand on the committee. |
