The network for trade,
training and development 

22 February 2018

Communication and collaboration

Publishing Scotland constantly builds on its existing contacts as well as developing new ones as part of its work to support a thriving publishing environment in Scotland. We take part in all the relevant culture (especially literature), trade and skills forums as well as collaborating and liaising with relevant public and commercial bodies on projects and events. The Edinburgh International Book Festival, Creative Skillset and the National Economic Forum are just a few of those we work with.

We share information and ideas through our website, annual conference and other events, public training courses, newsletters and social networking.
