UK Committee


Connecting the publishing industry across the UK

Overseeing the Society of Young Publishers and its respective branches, the SYP UK Committee aims to connect and unite the publishing industry. Having created a hub for SYP members outside of the regional branches (London, Oxford, North, South West, Scotland, Ireland and Wales), the UK committee runs events across the country, and provides exciting and informative digital content.

InPrint magazine

The UK Committee is also responsible for producing the SYP’s quarterly magazine, InPrint. Featuring news, advice, interviews and opinion pieces, InPrint offers our members a platform to have their voice heard.
