The International Publishing Fellowship supports the professional development of future publishing leaders with a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation.
Each edition is a year-long programme which consists of online seminars designed to share insights into specific aspects of the UK and international publishing sectors and in-person reciprocal exchanges. The programme for each Fellowship is evidence-based and delivered in partnership with UK and international industry leaders.
Each fellowship focuses on a different market — often in countries where established links with the UK are not fully developed. Previous editions have explored Georgia, Turkey, Ukraine and India.
Impact
The programme:
- Exposes publishers to new models and ways of working
- Builds valuable international networks
- Enables publishing leaders to become internationally fluent
- Provides valuable research and insights for the sector.
As a result of previous editions, we have seen an increase in rights sales, translations and new publications as well as individual promotions in recognition of the knowledge gained during the programme.
