Stephen Page of Faber & Faber is integrating both product and channel innovation into the publishing program of a long-standing UK trade house. Faber is building a robust publisher and author services business, with a virtual community of authors and readers that also includes staging live events and writing courses. His shop has created two of the most commercially successful enhanced digital projects to date: one for T S Eliot's The Waste Land and a more recent one on Shakespeare's Sonnets. And Faber is also pioneering digital services and direct to consumer capabilities for distributed lines in conjunction with partners Perseus Constellation and The Firsty Group.
