Young to Publishing

An initiative of the Association of American Publishers (AAP). We offer educational, social & service opportunities for entry-level & junior industry employees.

A HUGE thanks from AAP to the employees of @HarperCollins for the generous and inspiring donation today to our internship and leadership program with @UNCF! #Diversity matters.

I don’t personally know where we go from here, but wanted to acknowledge the people who noticed our absence from their inboxes and social media feeds and to thank you for pointing out the importance of this group.

YPG (ex-)committee member here, going rogue on Twitter for a second. Thanks to everyone who shared what YPG has meant to them. We were all sad when AAP asked us to cease programming and communications at the end of 2018 for a “reset.”

[Young to Publishing @YoungToPub]

There is obviously a need for YPG, or some new group like it to take its place. YPG’s foundations were deep, and created via years of hard work, but this industry has no shortage of motivated professionals to take up the mantle.

Congratulations to all the authors, translators, and publishers honored on the 2019 @PENamerican 2019 Literary Awards longlist! https://t.co/afVNeHHsPg

Trying to put together a list of 2018 programming highlights for the December newsletter, and . . . it's a lot. #agoodproblemtohave

Holiday "shopping" season for YPGers!

[Brigid Black @brigidblack]

One of my favorite things about working in book publishing is randomly seeing a book on a take shelf that I know a friend/family member will love and pulling it aside for them. #ThisIsPublishing

Congrats to @biancalynnbooks, who correctly guessed the most #NationalBookAwards winners in our YPG prediction poll! She got 3 of 5 right (nonfiction, poetry, and young people's lit). This was a tough field to predict!

[Young to Publishing @YoungToPub]

Last chance to take a guess at who will take home the top prizes at the #NationalBookAwards tonight! And as a bonus incentive, we have totes for anyone who gets all 5 categories right! https://t.co/oauqUXQAFC

YPG planning committee member Shelly has some great tips for POC who are interested in working in publishing. Check them out (and follow her, if you don't already)!

[Shelly Romero @_smromero]

Inspired by @bookavid and my own experiences. A thread of some ways to help POCs wanting to enter the publishing industry. 1/

This was an insanely fun play! Couldn’t stop laughing. Thanks to Puffs the Play and @youngtopub, for giving YPG members a special discount! https://t.co/Se4FQyDcAJ
