Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to make a book?
You and your kid can create a story in under 5 minutes, or spend as long as you want wordsmithing every page and perfecting every illustration. Fable is built for the days you're feeling creative... and for the days you're counting the minutes till bedtime. Once you've got a story you love, we'll custom print and ship it to you in under 2 weeks.
What does it cost?
Our Digital Only subscription costs $8.99 per month. Our Printed Book Club — $19.99 per month — gives you digital access plus one printed book credit a month. Printed book credits do not expire, so you're welcome to wait a month or two before ordering a fresh batch of your favorite stories.
You can also order additional printed books on demand. Softcover printed books cost $19.99 and hardcover books are $24.99. Both book types include free shipping.
Can my child create a story without me?
Yes! We designed Fable to be safe for kids to use on their own. They can create any characters they want to star in an epic adventure!
How does Fable handle privacy?
Fable does not share your generated images, uploaded photographs, or writing in any way. Your inputs are never used to train anyone else's algorithms. Everything you submit to Fable is kept private on secure servers. You can find more details in our privacy policy.
How big are the printed books?
Printed books are 8x8 inches in softcover or hardcover with 20 to 30 pages. You can add a sentence or two on the first page of each printed book as a dedication.
Is there an app?
Yes! The Fable app works on a phone or tablet. If you have a tablet, that is the best way to create new stories, as you can better see the illustrations and editing options. On your phone, the app is great for playing your custom audio stories in the car or at bedtime. The app is available on all iOS, Android, and Fire devices.
Does Fable use AI?
Fable uses a number of large language models, image classification models, and image diffusion models to create stories. We believe these AI tools will dramatically increase the number of people who have the time and budget to create custom children's books. We also believe that when a kid defines the character or plot of a story, they are more likely to be engaged in reading and inspired to write more on their own! Check out our blog post to learn more about generative AI children's books.
What makes Fable different from other customized kids books?
Fable magically creates books featuring illustrations with your kids. Other sites will charge you more than us simply for putting your child's name in the text, and the shipping may take more like 3-4 weeks. We think that's not really a fair value to you and nowhere near as fun for the kids.
We also offer a satisfaction guarantee on every book we ship. Period.
