Established in 1949, the Society of Young Publishers is open to anyone in publishing or a related trade – or who is hoping to be soon.

The SYP was originally for under-35s, but it's now open to anyone and caters especially for those with fewer than ten years' publishing experience. Run by a team of dedicated volunteers, our aim is to help assist, inform and enthuse anyone trying to break into the industry or progress within it.

We organise a large number of events, which you can learn more about on this website, and publish a regular newsletter called InPrint. Some services, such as job ads, are available only to members.

If you're not already a member, why not join now?
