Festivals run on creativity. Operations run on spreadsheets.
Sound familiar? You're not alone. Most literary festivals still run on tools that weren't built for the job.
12-tab spreadsheets nobody fully understands
Re-entering author data across multiple systems
No role-based visibility, so everyone sees everything or nothing
Last-minute logistics chaos before every event
Pitches buried in email threads that nobody can find
Twenty years of knowledge locked in one person’s head, with no succession plan
One platform, two layers
Fesutibaru connects planning and pitching in a single system.
Planner
Run your entire festival from one connected system. Events, people, venues, logistics, all linked with role-based views and real-time updates.

Your festival, in your pocket
Planner is a native app for iPhone and Android. Once your festival is set up, your whole team gets the app: authors, drivers, front-of-house, each with a home screen built for their role and live data wherever the day takes them.
Available on the App Store and Google Play once you’re up and running with us.

Real festivals. Real feedback. Real adoption.
“We read to find the end, for the story’s sake. We read not to reach it, for the sake of the reading itself. We read searchingly, like trackers, oblivious of our surroundings. We read distractedly, skipping pages. We read with contempt, with admiration, with negligence, with fury, with passion, with envy, with longing. We read in long, slow movements, as if drifting in space, weightless.”
