Meet the mentor | Brenda Stones

The SYP is very fortunate to have Brenda Stones as a mentor; she has vast experience within the industry as freelance lecturer, author and editor. She has been an educational publisher, and has worked for a range of large and small publishing companies, including Oxford University Press where she was Publishing Director for twelve years. Brenda is now a freelance editor, consultant and author, giving training courses on publishing in the UK and overseas, and running her own literary press.

She is currently mentoring a student whose goal is to switch from teaching to publishing (working on their CV, interview technique, and providing advice on applying for internships).
