Work With Us
Find out about careers at Faber, manuscript and poetry submissions, and how to apply for copyright permissions.
Faber has a staff of just over 120, based across our offices in Bloomsbury Square, London, and Harlow. We want all our staff to have the best possible, most positive and enjoyable experience while working at Faber.
Our benefits include access to Faber titles (including regular staff book clubs), discounted Independent Alliance titles, a minimum of 28 days’ holiday per year, five days per year for volunteering work of your choice, a full subscription to the Headspace meditation app, season-ticket loans, cycle-to-work vouchers, subsidised eye tests, a generous pension scheme, life assurance and income protection insurance, and access to online GP and advisory services.
Every week our Editors are sent an array of manuscripts. Faber does accept direct poetry submissions, however, unfortunately we are not in a position to review unsolicited manuscript submissions of fiction, non-fiction, plays, screenplays or children’s books. Click through for more information and to read our FAQs and Useful Resources sections for advice on next steps when seeking publication.
Faber & Faber have been handling Rights in works by many of the world's leading authors and estates ever since the company was established in 1929. We continue to receive hundreds of requests every week from people looking to use extracts by our poets, playwrights and novelists.
