More About Fane

Fane specialises in producing and curating spoken word events, bringing the most exciting names in culture and entertainment to audiences around the world.

The company was founded in 2017 to provide a high-quality platform where established and emerging talent can promote their work. It has since established itself as the partner of choice for a range of publishers and individual authors and podcasters.

Fane prides itself on creating unique events that tap into the conversations of the moment. From intimate virtual Q&As to UK-wide theatre tours and large-scale launches, Fane’s line-up offers something for everyone. In 2020, following four years of sold-out live events for talent including Margaret Atwood, Malala Yousafzai, Grayson Perry, The Receipts Podcast and Dame Judi Dench, Fane launched an online arm that has revolutionised the way virtual book events are delivered. It has since established a 100,000-strong newsletter mailing list, a global network of bookers, and a far more diverse programme than previously possible. All future live events will be offered as a hybrid model to ensure the programme is as accessible as possible to audiences. The current line-up can be found here

A Culture of Equality and Creativity

At Fane we strive to create a working environment that promotes and values diversity; where everyone feels empowered to bring their full, authentic selves to work in a creative and safe space. We are committed to equal opportunities and to building a more inclusive team that reflects the communities we serve.

There is more work to be done and we endeavour to continuously make progress, hold ourselves accountable and grow, both as a business and as individuals.
