SYP Ireland: 2021 Mentorship Scheme Testimonials

Posted on May 7, 2022 in Ireland

Mentors

“It’s a great opportunity to share industry knowledge and experience, shatter some illusions and offer real routes to work in the world of books. I’d recommend the experience to anyone who is interested in the future vibrancy of publishing.”

(Ivan O’Brien – Managing Director of The O’Brien Press)

“I really enjoyed it. It was lovely to be given the responsibility for working with someone on developing their potential and their prospects.”

Mentees

“Although the goals I had when I began the mentorship process haven’t been met in their entirety, the process has helped me to rethink and reshape my career moving forward. If I were to enter into a publishing mentorship again, I’d do it with an entirely different set of goals in mind – and, to me, that means this mentorship has succeeded.”
