History
Greater Access to Publishing (GAP) was a campaigning body, set up in 1987 and affiliated to Women in Publishing. They were an independent group of women from various cultural backgrounds working in the publishing industry. Their companies included The Women's Press, Virago, Longmans, Harrap Columbus, Black Ink, Bogle-L'Ouverture, Arawide and Springboard. They aimed to highlight publishing as an option for Black women. They held meetings on the first Thursday of each month.
The group held a One Day Conference to highlight which offered workshops on various aspects of publishing and personal histories of women in publishing.
