The landscape of publishing is ever changing, roles are merging and evolving, and many people are turning to freelancing to build their own portfolios of work and manage their own time. With many of you about to graduate, this could be the perfect way for you to gain key skills and build your CV.
Laura Summers, co-founder of BookMachine will talk to us about the popularity of this career path, how people are breaking into it and their online community, BookMachine Connect, which enables over 1,000 skilled publishers to find each other.
Also joining us is Melody Dawes, founder of freelancing and consulting service for education publishers, Just Content.
Join the SYP on 2nd July at 6.30pm to find out how to get into freelancing, as well as what skills are particularly valuable. We will meet at The Lighthouse on Park End Street, where you’ll be able to enjoy a happy hour cocktail during the talk.
