FAQ's

Collapsible content

Do you use AI?

Absolutely not. Fable is about the antithesis of tech. Everything we do is about celebrating the handmade, the handcrafted, the inimitable heirlooms that will stand the test of time.

Can I order multiple copies with different personalisations?

Yes, just get in touch via our contact page and we can arrange that for you.

Can I include more than one child in a book?

Yes, we can but the consultation typically takes longer and the design work for the cover does too so we price up these books a bit differently. Please get in touch with us directly for a quote.

Do you ship abroad?

Yes, but whilst we get up and running our website costs are only for UK deliveries. So, if you want to place an international order send us a message and we can quote for international delivery. Please do look into import duties and tariffs before ordering though as these will be your responsibility.

Do you write stories for adults?

Of course. Everyone deserves a touch of magic. Adults included. Whilst children were our first audience there is no reason adults can’t have their own story.

What age children are the stories for?

We can write the stories for children of any age. Whilst we can write them for babies, the more details you can give us about a child’s personality, likes, loves, quirks and things that make them unique, the more special the book will be. So, we tend to recommend waiting until at least the toddler years so that the book is truly tailored to their personality.

Can I print my story in a format other than a book?

We work with a great printer who can do booklets, posters, scrolls - you name it. Let us know what you’re thinking of, and we’ll see what we can do.

Can I edit the story before it’s printed?

Definitely. Part of our writing process is sending you a final draft before printing. You can make changes to small details like including a favourite teddy’s name or let us know if something else bigger needs changing, like setting or the way your child acts, or speaks in the story. Use this edit and take as long as you need to make sure you end up with the perfect story for your child.

Do I own the story once I buy it?

As with any book you buy, the copyright to the text is with the author. If you wish to reproduce the text for any purposes, please do get in touch to ask our permission.

When will I receive my book?

Crafting a personalised story takes time so please keep this in mind when ordering. The story writing process from consultation to first draft takes around two weeks. Then the estimated lead time, from final proof sign off to delivery is between 2 and 4 weeks.

What happens if I’m not happy with my book when it arrives?

If you have any problems at all, please do get in touch. All information about returns, refunds and the such is available in ours Ts and Cs section.

What is Fable & Hope?

It is our charitable arm. We produce books for free for children who are spending extended periods of time in hospitable and who need to see themselves as the hero of their own story. We are always looking for donations so we can produce more books to children who need stories of hope. Please do get in touch if you are able to do so.
