Changing Fiction Forever
Every year, in an industry worth more than US$11 billion, millions of writers publish millions of stories.
Only a select few will ever earn enough to make a living.
But it has never been harder to find the right story to read.
But it has never been harder to find the right story to read.
Why?
The fight to find readers is not a fair one
In an Amazon-dominated jungle, most stories simply get lost. Advertising and promotion act as a map. The more you spend, the better the directions.
At Fabel, we can’t promise that you’ll be able to make a living from writing.
But we can promise that every story will stand a fair chance of being read.
Why?
The market doesn’t see readers as individuals
It pigeonholes stories into 144 genres and subgenres that are supposed to help narrow down the choice. But this just swamps readers with thousands of results.
At Fabel, we recognise that every reader’s tastes are unique.
We promise to make it easier to find the right story to read.
A Community of Stories.
At Fabel, we're on a mission to go beyond the traditional concept of ‘market.’ We’re creating a fellowship of authors and readers a fair and transparent marketplace—for stories of all kinds—in which the two can transact directly, establish relationships and work to achieve mutual benefit. To do this, we’re making innovative use of blockchain technology. It’s a novel approach that we believe will change the fiction market forever.
Search Beyond Genre
Because a story has more chance of being read if it isn't competing with thousands of others.

The platform where readers can make a good book fly.
What is your story?
The Fabel Short Story Prize
The Fabel Short Story Competition will be coming to this space on 31st July.
As you would expect from a marketplace that is looking to change fiction forever, we will be taking a unique approach to this competition. At Fabel, we are eliminating subjective assessments of manuscripts and opening the market to stories of all kinds. Our philosophy is that readers should be the only and ultimate arbiters of quality. Hence, readers will play a significant role in judging the Fabel Short Story Prize.
