Faber & Faber

One of the last of the great independent publishing houses in London, Faber & Faber has published an impressive list of literary giants from the twentieth century. T. S. Elliot, Ezra Pound, and W. H. Auden, were among its list of poets, and its list continued to grow with a new generation of writers including William Golding, Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Philip Larkin, and Tom Stoppard. The Faber & Faber backlist now includes books by no fewer than twelve Nobel Laureates and six Booker Prize-winners, and they continue to pursue the highest quality of literary excellence in their thriving frontlist.

 

Faber & Faber has also proved a leader in embracing the digital future in publishing, launching Faber Factory in October of 2010 – a fully comprehensive digital service to enable independent publishers to have an immediate and cost effective digital publishing program without having to invest in additional resource and add to their overhead.

 

Both Faber & Faber and Faber Factory teamed with RoyaltyShare to solve technical obstacles in digital sales processing. For the Faber Factory division, an additional need of providing visibility to member publishers was needed as well, so sales analytics data could be accessed globally. RoyaltyShare has successfully guided their digital sales ingestion process since the launch of Faber Factory, and continues to streamline their digital sales processing as their digital business rapidly expands.
