What is the YPG?

The Young to Publishing Group (YPG) is an initiative of the Association of American Publishers' (AAP) Diversity, Recruit & Retain Committee that strives to give entry-level and junior industry employees (typically with 0 - 5 years of book publishing experience) a chance to build a community outside of their own publishing house and to educate themselves about the industry as a whole. Membership is free and open to all "young" (not far advanced in growth, junior, lacking experience) persons currently employed by a book-publishing house.

Anyone interested in joining the Young to Publishing Group or changing their contact information can email ypgmembership@hotmail.com.

The YPG membership database is available on request by emailing Alex Lane at alexandra.lane@us.penguingroup.com
