Welcome to Cyhoeddi Cymru | Publishing Wales
A new organisation has been founded to represent publishers in Wales
Cyhoeddi Cymru Publishing Wales
CCPW’s aim is to be a recognised, authoritative voice for the publishing sector in Wales, representing all publishers in Wales for our collective benefit and for the advancement of the sector. CCPW has been set up by a small group of publishers from across Wales with a variety of target markets, having recognised the absence of a single identity and voice for publishing in Wales.
The organisation supports members to expand our reach across the globe and foster an ambitious and professional environment in which the sector can thrive. Our members are internationally recognised for their publishing excellence, creative content and innovative publishing solutions.
Membership
CCPW operates bilingually and membership is open to eligible publishers headquartered in Wales. Associate membership is available for affiliated organisations. The organisation will encompass Cwlwm Cyhoeddwyr, which currently supports Welsh-language publishers and will continue to do so.
Join us in developing CCPW
We have published our vision and aims below and welcome input or feedback on any aspect of forming and running CCPW and hope you will join us on this exciting journey.Administrator
Our administrator is Sian Evans, who looks after the day-to-day running of CCPW. Contact Sian by email: post@cyhoeddi.cymru
