Invite an author

For festivals, universities, companies and organisations who would like a Samman author to speak.

An invitation is not an acceptance. We pass every invitation to the author with our own recommendation, and we reply either way — including when the answer is no.

The more you can tell us about the audience and the format, the better an answer we can give you.
