The London School of Publishing (LSP) has been training delegates since 1984 and has established an excellent reputation for delivering skill-based courses for individuals as well as the tailor made corporate training courses. We offer a range of training that suits the needs of our delegates, whether it be day or evening training.
Our purpose is to provide delegates with a dynamic and practical training experience, reflecting key trends in publishing, such as e-books, self-publishing and developments in "agile" publishing.
Our recent expansion of courses and competencies reflects a change in direction, taking a broader view of publishing and training, and recognising that at the heart of all forms of publishing and self-expression was creativity. LSP's mission, therefore, was clear - to stimulate the creative capabilities and and to ensure our courses provide invigorating and beneficial content to our delegates.

- Editing: book editing, sub-editing, copy-editing
- Digital: social media, Adobe, e-publishing, writing for the Web
- Visual: picture research, infographics, art history
- Literature: creative writing, poetry, the novella ...
