Get into and ahead in publishing—volunteer with the Society of Young Publishers
The Society of Young Publishers (SYP) is a volunteer-led organisation dedicated to helping aspiring publishers. Applications to volunteer on the 2025 committee are open until Sunday 08 December.
Volunteering with the SYP means you will be making a positive difference to the industry, while helping others, developing new skills and gaining valuable contacts and friends.
As a volunteer you are also given complimentary membership during your volunteering term with the SYP. You will have access to a variety of membership benefits, including a free InPrint magazine subscription, partner discounts, access to jobs boards and more.
Who can apply?
If you are a publishing hopeful, or within the first ten years of your publishing and book career, you are eligible to serve on a committee. There is no age limit, and you do not need to be studying/have studied publishing, or have any publishing experience to apply. All you need is a passion for the industry, and an understanding of the values and work of the SYP.
Applications open every year for new SYP committee members. You can serve on the committee for up to three years (you will need to reapply each year). This ensures as many new voices as possible are heard. For further information on volunteering and what it might involve, you can visit the SYP Volunteer FAQs
