How Fableration Works

A writer uploads their story to the Fableration platform in three simple steps. Uploading is free, unless they wish to upload anonymously, in which case they are charged a small fee. Once they submit, PhiBee—Fableration’s ethical AI—checks whether a manuscript meets a quality threshold (if it doesn’t, it’s still accepted—see later).

During the process, it scans the manuscript and the synopsis and assigns ‘tags’ to help differentiate the manuscript from every other book. Once their book is live, a writer can see exactly how it is performing in the marketplace, including reader demographics and if there are any particular parts that cause readers to stop reading. When a reader purchases a book, they pay a small platform fee (5%) and the remaining 95% goes to the writer (or publisher) and rewards pool, immediately.

A reader engages with PhiBee in natural language and tells it what they are looking for. PhiBee returns the 12 best-matching search results. These are straight matches—there is no promotion or any algorithm to game.

The reader reads the blurb for the books and if they want to read on, they can read the first 5000 words (of a novel, less for other formats) for free. At that point, if they wish to read on, they pay the current market price for the book—in tokens: the native token of the Fableration ecosystem is WCW (Words Create Worlds)—safe in the knowledge that they will never overpay for the book.

The reading experience itself is second to none—these will not be eBooks, they will be engaging and interactive digital books. If the reader likes the book, it is in their interest to share it with their friends—not only because they want to tell the world about a great read, but also because they earn platform rewards from doing so.

A publisher is vetted before signing up to Fableration. Once they are approved, they can upload their books in bulk to the platform. During the upload process, they dictate the way royalties are to be distributed, and these contracts execute automatically whenever a book is sold.
