The International Publishing Fellowship supports the professional development of future publishing leaders with a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation.

The year-long programme is delivered in partnership with UK and international industry leaders and consists of in-person reciprocal exchanges alongside a series of online seminars designed to share insights into the UK and international publishing sectors.

The programme helps publishers explore new models and ways of working and build valuable international networks, as well as providing valuable research and insights for the sector.

Each fellowship focuses on a different international market – often countries where links with the UK are not yet established or fully developed. Previous editions have explored Georgia, Turkey, Ukraine and India.

More information on the next edition of the International Publishing Fellowship will be made available in early 2025.
