Issue 4 | Spring 2021
The world and how we live in it has changed a lot in the last year, but despite the challenges of the new reality students at Liverpool have continued to submit high quality articles to us for publication making this issue full from cover to cover with a wide range of engaging, insightful and captivating content. We would like to congratulate our issue 4 authors for possibly your first publication; an excellent achievement that you can be very proud of.
At Insider Imprint we have had a particularly exciting year, launching two new enterprises: our Student Ambassador Scheme and our Insider Insights Podcast. With these new initiatives we aim to give you extra value content and further enriching opportunities with us.
We hope you enjoy reading issue 4, gaining new knowledge and inspiration.
Stay safe and well.
