Eighty Years of Faber and Faber
In 1929 Faber and Faber was founded, with an inaugural list that included the finest poets of the day. Now, 80 years later, the Faber list has grown to include many award-winning novelists, playwrights and screenwriters, children's authors, and non-fiction writers. To mark our anniversary as one of the great independent publishing houses, we are celebrating with 'Faber 80': a year-long festival of special events and publications (80 in all) looking back over eight decades of cultural endeavour.

Faber and Faber is delighted to announce a major new venture to support and promote new poets, funded by Arts Council England.
