The Society of Young Publishers celebrates 75th anniversary with nationwide events

The organisation will certainly also be running special digital campaigns, consisting of alumni spotlights and #FromTheArchives posts, utilizing product curated by Maria Vassilopoulos, the SYP archivist. The anniversary will also be marked with a “bumper” edition of the society’s InPrint publication.

SYP Bridges is an one-time 75-minutes long mentorship session that pairs up graduates and current SYP members to “enable both mentee and coach to pick up from one another and provide a possibility for representation on the SYP and its activities, previous and existing”. Applications open this month and can be made via the SYP internet site.

Co-chairs Michaela O’Callaghan and Eleanor Gaffney commented: “Operating as UK Chairs in the SYP’s 75th anniversary has actually been an absolute satisfaction. Reconnecting with SYP graduates has actually aided to consolidate what we currently knew: that it is the connections developed with fellow hopefuls and early-career professionals that makes SYP such a vital part of the publishing market.

“The reality that SYP offers a range of upskilling possibilities, as either a volunteer or member, and works to demystify the industry and make it a lot more accessible, additional display screens just how much SYP has actually offered the industry throughout the years, and how much extra it can offer for several years ahead.”
