A New Era for Independent Publishing Faber Expands to the USA

Faber, the renowned independent UK-based publisher, has long been a beacon for literary excellence. Known for publishing some of the greatest literary voices, including T.S. Eliot, Sylvia Plath, and Kazuo Ishiguro, the company has now announced a significant expansion—Faber US. This move marks a new chapter in Faber’s illustrious history, bringing its distinctive literary offerings to a broader American audience.

A Major Step Forward

The launch of Faber US is not just a business expansion but a cultural milestone. With an impressive lineup of 2025 releases, the publisher is set to make waves across the Atlantic. Key highlights include:

• The City Changes Its Face by Eimear McBride—her fourth novel, promising the same depth and literary innovation as her previous works.
• What Art Does—a deep exploration of the meaning of art by legendary musician Brian Eno and illustrator Bette A.
• Collected Poems by the esteemed poet Wendy Cope, offering a profound look into her poetic legacy.
• Suddenly Something Clicked—Academy Award-winning editor Walter Murch’s reflections on six decades of cinematic history.
• The Coming of the Iron Giant—a beautifully abridged picture book edition of Ted Hughes's classic, illustrated by Mini Grey.

The Team Behind Faber US

A major publishing venture requires a stellar team, and Faber has appointed industry veterans to lead its U.S. expansion. Brittany Dennison, formerly of Artisan Books and New Directions, takes the role of Senior Publicist. Travis Smith, an expert in independent bookstores and previously with Algonquin Books, steps in as Senior Marketing Manager. Their expertise ensures that Faber US will retain the literary prestige of its parent company while effectively engaging the American market.

Mary Cannam, CEO of Faber, expressed her excitement about this expansion:

"This marks an exciting moment for Faber. I am delighted that Brittany and Travis are joining us, with their considerable energy and expertise, to launch this new venture. Our new US division will enable us to reach an even wider audience for our writers’ work and I’m looking forward to seeing it develop."

With distribution in the U.S. managed by PGW (Publishers Group West), Faber US is poised for a strong entry into the American literary scene.
