Part of the SYP’s mission is to provide tools for young publishing professionals to advance their careers while also expanding their network in the creative industry
Unlike other schemes, instead of being a one-to-one session each SYP mentoring meeting is built around a small group of young publishing professionals (5–10 people per group).
Each group is assigned a mentor, a young, dynamic publishing professional who has already achieved a remarkable level of success in his or her career.
The mentees are assigned to a specific group based on their job description and interest, which then allows us to pair them up with a mentor who has experience in that particular field. The scheme will provide mentoring in the following areas of publishing:
Editorial Skills
Marketing and Publicity
Sales
Design and Brand management
Author representation
Each group will meet their mentor roughly every two months beginning in March, for a total of five meetings throughout the year.
