If you’re interested in a career in publishing, you may be interested in watching back the recordings of our Practical Publishing Seminars, hosted in 2022 and featuring interviews with a number of key industry fugures: https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/the-practical-publishing-seminars/.
Our blog contains a number of resources, including blogs by previous interns documenting their experience, as well as blogs by MUP staff shared during Work in Publishing Week, for example.
MUP staff regularly give their time to mentoring programmes hosted by the university, as well other organisations, including the SYP and Arts Emergency, and speak at local and national events, including the AUPresses conference, and on publishing courses, including the Publishing MA at Manchester Metropolitan University.
