Welcome to the 'Society of Young Publishers Mentoring Scheme'.
The mentoring scheme was started in recognition of Gordon Graham's outstanding contribution to international publishing fellowship.
The SYP in Scotland are currently gathering information on potential mentors. If you are based north of the border, and willing to spend some time mentoring new entrants to the industry, please complete their survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MF8LNS6
I am the founder / co-ordinator for the Gordon Graham-SYP Mentoring Scheme, and have been involved with the SYP since 2006: http://www.thesyp.org.uk/ I have worked in various roles in academic publishing (sales, production and editorial) for 10 years -- in Scotland, Ireland and England -- after studying publishing at Stirling University's Centre for Publishing Studies. I am currently a Senior Development Editor for an international science publisher. I am interested in all sectors of publishing, and the benefits of mentoring/coaching.
