Spare Zoom Project

Spare Zoom Project

The Spare Zoom Project facilitates 30-minute Zoom sessions between publishing hopefuls/junior members of staff and professionals currently working in the industry. Hopefuls and junior publishing staff can seek advice on career development and also gain a valuable industry connection remotely.

It is akin to a remote coffee networking session and serves as an accessible way hopefuls and those early in their career from across the UK and Ireland can ask questions and develop their understanding of the book industry.

If you’re looking for a job in publishing or are already in your first role, you can get some advice from someone already in the industry who’ll share their career experiences and support you in yours.

The Spare Zoom Project was set up in reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, we feel the need for hopefuls to connect and network is as important as ever.
