Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a Fableself book?

A one-of-a-kind hardcover picture book. You share photos and a moment; we write an original story, illustrate every page in the art style you choose, and ship a hand-finished hardcover. It is not a template with names swapped in, story and artwork are created for you alone.

What kind of photos do I need?

One or two clear photos per character with the face visible, phone photos are perfect. Any background is fine. JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 10 MB each.

What happens to my photos?

They are used only to create your book, stored privately, and deleted after your book ships, at most 30 days. They are never shared with third parties or used for anything else.

How long does it take?

You receive a proof within a few days of ordering. After your approval, printing and delivery typically take one to two weeks depending on your country.

Do I see the book before it's printed?

Yes, always. You receive a digital proof of your book and approve it before printing, and before any payment is taken.

Can I request changes?

Yes. Names, the dedication, and story details can be corrected at the proof stage. We want the book to feel exactly like yours before it goes to print.

Which languages can the book be written in?

English and Turkish for now. The website, the ordering journey, and the books themselves are fully bilingual.

When and how do I pay?

After you approve your proof, we send a secure payment link. Nothing is charged before you've seen your book.

Where do you ship?

We print with international print partners and ship to most countries, including Türkiye, the EU, the UK and the US. Shipping cost and time are confirmed with your proof.
