Ten work experience placements in eight publishing houses, totalling 22 weeks of salary- free labour. This was just one aspect of my campaign since the age of sixteen to work in publishing. I did everything from the basic to the creative, starting off small, demonstrating my willingness to work hard so that more challenging tasks started coming my way - I gave my best, and my supervisors gave me theirs. Now that I work in publishing I have an even greater appreciation of how valuable time is during the working week, and I'm even more appreciative and grateful for all the time and effort people took to teach me about their departments and publishing in general. The SYP is all about this sort of interaction. Most of our members are under the age of thirty, either established in their publishing careers or beginning their training. In an industry notorious for paying significantly less than 'city' jobs, it is a remarkable testament to the diversity and creativity of publishing that the number of applicants should far exceed the number of jobs available. To be useful to those working (or aspiring to work) in the industry it is essential that the SYP provide a wide basis of support both educationally and socially. Speaker Meetings and the Careers Conference do much to pass on knowledge from more experienced members of the industry (who get something positive out of the experience too) while the social events we hold help us get to know each other, and make contacts throughout the industry in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The best fun and most use to get out of the SYP is getting involved in the work. With over three hundred members, a newsletter, speaker meetings, book clubs and an annual conference forming the basis of our programme, there is a lot to organize. When we add in other things, like the 2004 Handbook, with its launch party, that increases the workload dramatically. But when you join in, it is not like networking, its more like working with your mates, which is why, when issues

arise, nobody holds back their views and we know we will reach a consensus not a compromise. Women in Publishing and positive discrimination are two of the things that recently sparked us off. I'm happy to say that we have, yet again, got a fantastically enthusiastic committee. Already ideas have been bouncing back and forth on the internet with a lot of work done, and we only got voted in on 13th January 2005! For instance, on 26 Jan 2005 the committee got an email from Claire Shanahan, one of our Social Secretaries, telling us about the International Young Publisher of the Year Award being run by the British Council, and how she thought we should get involved. As I emailed back saying great, yes, we should, I received an email from Claire DeBraekeleer of the British Council inviting us to participate: she had looked on our website and decided she wanted us to be involved. A truly serendipitous moment: far from having to convince each other to join forces in this, we were delighted to find we on exactly the same wave length, and plans to get the SYP involved are moving ahead rapidly - see the article in this issue and the invite on page 8! Our committee is strong in its diversity of opinion and the skills its individuals bring and we have far too many ideas for our current workforce, so if you want to get involved, either in the long or short term, we would love to hear from you. Best wishes, Victoria

She is responsible for publicising SYP events around campus and is the first port of call for students if they have any questions. She is also responsible for keeping lecturers updated with SYP news and assisting with any events held at the University. P ro mot i on s Co or di n ato r B ecky Si mm s Becky read geography at Oxford, and after working at a contemporary art gallery for two years now works at OUP as

Administrator for the ELT Dictionaries department. Her SYP role involves getting information about the Society and its events out to everyone. Web Edit or - Jami e Sh aw Jamie keeps the Oxford web pages up to date, adding new content when available and making sure nothing is out of date. A new page offering transport information between London and Oxford has just been put up, accessible through the 'What's On' page. He gained website experience in his previous job as a Systems Administrator, before moving on to a more publishing-related job as Pre-press Controller at OUP. This involves co-ordinating editors and designers to have material ready for print, making corrections and drawing diagrams in Quark and Freehand, and obtaining film or PDFs from a local printer. Before both jobs, he did a publishing and computing degree at Oxford Brookes. Feel free to email the Oxford Committee (see listings) with any comments, questions or suggestions - remember that we are here to represent you and make sure that this is a member's society. We look forward to meeting you all in person at the next Oxford Speaker Meeting event (details on last page of InPrint).

INTERNATIONAL YOUNG PUBLISHER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2005

InPrint March 2005
Claire de B rae ke le er f rom the B ritish Council tells u s ab out th is ye ar's a wa rd an d why la st ye ar' s was such a succes s
At London Book Fair 2005, the British Council's International Young Publisher of the Year (IYPY) award will be presented for the second time. The award celebrates the entrepreneurial and leadership abilities of a young person (aged 25-35) working in the international publishing sector, particularly in transitional economies. The award recognises the importance of international experience in publishing - with the UK as a nexus for such networking - and brings the group of IYPY finalists to the UK for a tour of the national publishing sector, presentations to a judging panel, and participation at London Book Fair. A winner did, of course, have to be chosen and the jury, headed by Lynette Owen of Pearson, decided upon Eduardo Rabasa from Mexico. Eduardo is the founder and Director of Foreign Rights at Editorial Sexto Piso, a small, independent publishing house, the founding of which in 2002 was described by Eduardo as 'like jumping out of the sixth floor (or sexto piso) of a building'. This was a poignant comment in light of Mexico's ten per cent illiteracy rate and publishing sector dominated by large international companies. Certainly, Eduardo's ability to run a profitable house focussing on a youthful, high quality literary list impressed the jury and he was singled out for his risk-taking entrepreneurial ability and international outlook. His 7,500 prize fund is overseen by the British Council and is to be spent on a publishing project that will build the relationship between the UK and Mexico. London Book Fair director Alistair Burtenshaw also kindly awarded Editorial Sexto Piso a stand at London Book Fair 2005, where Eduardo will be displaying copies of Whom Gods Destroy by Ruth Padel - the first UK work he has published with his IYPY prize. In 2005 the IYPY award has grown to include the participation of ten countries: Argentina, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lebanon, Poland, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Thailand, and Turkey. British Council offices in each country have worked with their local publishing contacts to select a national finalist. This group of ten publishers includes three men and seven women ranging from the Editor of the Russian book review, the Editing Director of an all-female founded Polish independent children's publisher, to a dissident Thai book and magazine publisher. The group will arrive in the UK in early March to embark on their week-long tour of the publishing sector. The judging will take place at the end of this tour, based upon presentations made by each finalist about their respective national publishing industry, how their own work sits in the wider context and what their vision is for the sector in the future. Again the focus on the most successful candidates will be their commitment to publishing, manifested in a strong creative and leadership ability tied to entrepreneurial drive. This year's jury is chaired by the author and broadcaster, Kate Mosse.

The inaugural award launched in 2004 was a resounding success, providing extensive opportunities for the exchange of ideas and brokering of deals. The group met with 27 different organisations across the UK's publishing and literary sector - from large multinationals to small niche publishing houses, agents, librarians, writing development agencies and others - taking in London, Essex, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Aberystwyth and even reaching Hay-on-Wye. Perhaps the most lasting success of the event was the bond forged between the group drawn from eight different countries and varying publishing backgrounds. They found deep connections despite their diversity, and remain in close personal and professional contact.

The last vital component of the finalists' visit to the UK is participation in London Book Fair. Generally, this of course provides a wealth of networking opportunities. Specifically, the finalists will be involved in a range of British Council activities surrounding IYPY. The British Council's International Welcome Point will host a display where each of the publishers can present five books from their country that are as yet unpublished in the UK, and which they feel deserve a wider international audience. Each finalist will talk about one of these books during a Book Pitch session - allowing them to present and read from their chosen book to an audience of publishers, agents, editors, etc. The culmination of IYPY 2005 will be the award ceremony on Tuesday 15th March at the Fair. The British Council excitedly anticipates the arrival of the 2005 finalists and expects another valuable IYPY programme for all involved. This exchange of ideas facilitates a wider UK and international publishing network, and the ultimate aim of the IYPY award is the professional development of the individual participants.

Does t he degree yo u c hoos e af fect your cha nce of gett ing a job onc e you've gradu ated ?
Clare Truter (with contributions from Deb Sanders, Emilie Connes, Holly Myers, Jamie Shaw and Claire Shanahan) investigates... Have you ever wondered if you chose the right degree? This article sets out to examine the importance of studying a directly-related subject with a future job in mind - does it make a difference or not?
Emi li e Co nn es: Everybody tells me this: if you want to work in publishing, don't mention that you write. I have often wondered why this is. Do prospective employers think you're going to take the opportunity to shove your manuscripts at them as soon as you get a foot in the door? I suppose some people must do. But aren't aspiring and sometimes accomplished writers the best kind of people to work with in publishing? Their interest in the business is pretty much guaranteed, they have years of experience correcting their own work and have no illusions, if published at all, as to how selective the process is. I will be graduating with a BA in English Lit. and an MA in Creative Writing this year. Creative Writing? 'Pah!' You might say. But I believe this particular subject can be used as a vital asset when applying for a job in publishing, or more specifically, editing. Let us imagine, for a moment, my next interview: Interviewer: So Miss Connes, you have a Masters in Creative Writing. What makes you think we want to employ you? Me: Isn't it obvious? I have been editing my fellow students' work for four years. I can spot a typo, grammatical error, incorrect use of verb, noun or adjective, or lack of description a mile away. During my university career I proofread an average of 50,000 words a week, not including my own work, developing a critical eye for detail and unmerciful attitude to plot inconsistencies. Interviewer: Do you truly believe this would be of use in this job? Me: Absolutely. If four years at university doesn't prepare you for staring at a computer screen all day long searching for discrepancies, nothing does. So if you're a Creative Writing graduate, don't apologise for it in your next job interview. You didn't waste your time, and underlying acquired skills can be put to extremely good use. Jami e Sh aw: When I was younger, I used to enjoy making posters and other layouts using my rolling ruler, Crayola drawing board and set of 50 WH Smith colouring pencils. Eventually, a PC replaced my Spectrum, and I started creating random magazine posters just for fun. Programming was also something I liked IT lessons at school being preferable to 'Graphics' that consisted almost entirely of drawing clamps and I chose to do a degree in Computing and Publishing at Oxford Brookes. People in the publishing lectures were more, well, normal than those in computing and it quickly became apparent that I preferred print and typography to algorithms and data flow diagrams. Thus I took the illogical step of going into a systems administrator role; when a job is handed to you almost without effort and the starting salary is better than anything in publishing, it's stupid to refuse. Three years later I decided to rectify my mistake and moved to Oxford University Press. The job, Pre-press Controller, requires knowledge of the publishing process, ability to use Quark, Photoshop et al, plus a technical mind helps. Perhaps, unusually, my job matches my degree very well. Deb San ders : While studying French and German, and then linguistics, I hoped to become a lexicographer, and did work experience with various dictionary publishers. However, the closest first language-related job I found was an editor position at the abstracting and indexing service ARTbibliographies Modern, based in the Oxford office of American publisher CSA. The main task was to write abstracts (summaries) of articles from modern and contemporary art magazines (my art background is limited to GCSE!) The abstracts, all in English, were published in an online database, though many of the articles were in French or German. After a year and a half, I progressed within the company to running a similar database focused on design. The job is challenging, varied, and exciting and, as the first person in this new post, I have the opportunity to shape my role. Sadly, my languages now rarely get used at work, but I'm learning Spanish in my spare time. H ol ly M yer s: For anyone who has attended SYP events in Oxford, you will be quite aware of how many times I bring up my degree with just the slightest bit of relevance to the topic of conversation. Annoying as this is for my fellow SYP members, I'm afraid I can't help it. Why? Because

I just LOVED my degree! But how does it help me in publishing? I gained a first class honours degree in Philosophy from Cardiff University. I applied for the position of Publishing Assistant at an educational publisher in the year of my graduation. Rightly or wrongly, I would not have got that interview had I not got a degree of some kind. Persuading employers my degree was relevant was much more difficult; most people I meet who ask after my degree respond to 'philosophy' with a mildly perplexed 'ahthat must have been interesting!' Well, it was, but it was more than that. I grappled with formal logic, ethics, theory of mind and language, to name but a few. What I stressed in my interview, as I was applying for a position in the Secondary Science team, was the time spent on Philosophy of Science, which luckily I chose to spend many years on. When I put together my CV, I thought carefully how my flexible degree (philosophy, happily, is the base of many disciplines) could apply to the Publishing Assistant role. I already had administrative experience, having worked throughout my time at university, so I tried to show how I could use my research skills to find out about the market, my analytical skills to judge products viability and my passion for the subject to show my commitment. This seemed to work! I would advise anyone wanting to go into publishing to look at what they have already learnt from their degree before considering further training. These days you pay a lot of money for that degree, so make it work for you! Certainly, in educational publishing, you will often see 'relevant degree' quoted in adverts rather than publishing degrees required. Clai r e Sh an ah an: Most people think it is quite ironic when I tell them that I have a BA in English and Philosophy, subjects that are traditionally associated with 'the Arts', and that I work as an Editor for Pearson Education in their Primary School Maths department. My MA in Literature and Publishing at the National University of Ireland, Galway, has proved invaluable to my career. Although I have only been working a few months and initially struggled to find an open door into publishing, it was the skills that I learned in my MA, such as copyediting, proofreading and QuarkXPress, that enabled me to prove myself in a week of work experience. I was offered a job on the Friday and I have been very happy and content there ever since. If I didn't have even the specialist expertise, insider information and general overview of the industry that I gained from my Masters, I would probably have been stuffing

InPrint March 2005

envelopes in my week of work experience, and I doubt that any amount of skill, speed or enthusiasm in this task would have secured me a job so quickly. Clar e Tr ut er: Personally, I studied French at Exeter University purely for enjoyment, not with a future job in mind. I was certainly focused on a career in publishing but also knew that I would need to study something I really enjoyed in order to stick with it for four years. I haven't found my degree to be a hindrance at all - if anything, it has proved to be a bonus - I have studied to degree level and thus can perform in a role, and have an additional language skill to boot. In conclusion, choosing a degree is an extremely subjective decision. You might find that the subject doesn't directly relate to a job in publishing. My advice is to look at what you enjoy - after all, you'll be studying your chosen subject for a number of years. A degree proves that you have reached a certain level of comprehension and learning, and although there are without doubt exceptions, as Jamie's testimony shows, any subject can stand you in good stead for embarking on a publishing career.

'In tern ation al Youn g Publis he r of th e Yea r' Pre -awa rd Dr inks As part of the IYPY programme, the British Council are hosting a pre-award drinks party to offer the chance for young UK publishers to meet the ten international finalists of the IYPY award. The finalists will have just completed a week-long tour of the UK publishing sector, which although extensive, generally only brings the group together with more senior management in the industry. Something we feel that was missing from the 2004 award was the opportunity for the finalists to meet UK publishers of a similar age and professional development - and thus the idea for this party. We hope it will be a great opportunity for both the IYPY finalists and their UK peers to meet, network, and enjoy a few drinks prior to London Book Fair and the announcement of the IYPY winner on Tuesday March 15th. Ruth Padel will also be in attendance to make a reading from her book Whom Gods Destroy. This book was recently published in Mexico by Eduardo Rabasa, the 2004 award winner, as part of his IYPY prize fund. W hen : Friday 11th March 2005, 6:30 - 8:30 pm (by invitation only) W here : The British Council, 10 Spring Gardens, London SW1A 2BN. If you are aged 22-35 and work in the UK publishing industry, we would very much like for you to come along. If you are interested in attending, please email Claire de Braekeleer at the British Council with your name, professional details and address by 1st March 2005 and an invite will be sent out to you, depending on availability: Claire.DeBraekeleer@britishcouncil.org
