In this episode, SYP Ireland's Elizabeth Goldrick had the pleasure of speaking with Gráinne O’Toole and Nidhi Zak of Irish independent press, Skein Press.  Established in 2017, Skein Press is a writer-centred publishing house that supports writers traditionally underrepresented in Irish literature by publishing beautiful, thought-provoking books. Skein are also committed to seeing greater diversity in the in-house team. They provide opportunities that encourage those traditionally excluded from publishing, perhaps due to class or education, to enter into careers as publishers, editors and marketing managers. Skein are also committed to campaigning for industry wide change: they want to see fairer, more sustainable wages across the board that will allow people to enter into  and remain in publishing careers. 

The conversation, held in a beautiful park in the centre of Dublin, was lively and thought-provoking and we hope it will be much enjoyed by all who listen.
