Kim Scott Walwyn Prize for women in publishing returns for 2011 with new focus on emerging talent
Nominations are now open for the Kim Scott Walwyn Prize 2011 – the only national prize to recognise the professional achievements of women in their publishing careers.
To reflect developments in the publishing world, the 2011 prize-awarding committee has teamed up with the Society of Young Publishers (SYP) in order to recognise not only achievement but also promise amongst women in the industry. Because of this, the prize is now open to any woman who has worked in publishing in the UK for up to seven years.
This prize was founded in honour of Kim Scott Walwyn, a Publishing Director at Oxford University Press, who died in 2002 at the age of 45. She was an outstanding editor and a generous and inspirational manager whose career was widely recognised and celebrated during her life.
