Welcome to Fable!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Draft2Digital, it\u2019s our mission to provide you with the very best tools to help you grow your publishing business. One of the best ways to help you grow your publishing business is to help you get your books into the hands of more readers. Avid readers! Like the kind who love to talk about books, share what they\u2019re reading on the socials, and join (or start) book clubs to talk even more about books.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, have we got news for you!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re thrilled to introduce you to Draft2Digital\u2019s newest retail partner, Fable. Who is Fable, you ask? Fable is an online bookstore and social reading app that powers tens of thousands of online book clubs. Founded in 2021 by tech industry veteran Padmasree Warrior, the venture-backed company already lists 25,000 book clubs, 650,000 active readers (this number doubled in the last year) and 200 influencer partners from the likes BookTok, BookTube and Bookstagram. The store lists over a million titles from every one of the Big 5 and key independent publishers, but Draft2Digital is the first to supply titles from indie authors!<\/p>\n<p>Draft2Digital authors and publishers will receive the same ebook royalty rate they currently receive from other notable ebook retailers in Draft2Digital\u2019s partner network.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u201cFable\u2019s members are clamoring for indie ebooks!\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8211;Padmasree Warrior, founder and CEO, Fable<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What the D2D\/Fable partnership means for YOU:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Connections with Readers and Influencers<\/strong> \u2013 Fable is home to over 650,000 members and 25,000 book clubs. More than 200 influencers from TikTok, YouTube and Instagram operate and promote their Fable book clubs, amplifying the reach of Fable to hundreds of thousands of readers. Authors can join existing book clubs or start their own.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dedicated Indie Author Merchandising<\/strong> \u2013 Coming soon, the Fable bookstore will introduce a highly placed, ongoing merchandising feature dedicated to spotlighting bestselling indie authors from Draft2Digital. Other indie-focused merchandising is also under consideration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Promotional Opportunities<\/strong> \u2013 Author initiated eARC Giveaway Clubs help build buzz to generate preorder sales prior to new book releases; Pub Day Clubs, similar to eARC clubs, incentivize readers to talk about a just-released book and read alongside the author. Fable also facilitates sponsored book selections with its 200+ affiliate book clubs hosted by key influencers. To learn more about sponsored promotions, including a rate card and contact information for Fable reps who can help you customize a promotional package, <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1S14kdJIJaSycUFgsJyE83OpUseo_gtpz\/view\">click here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Powerful Reader Insights<\/strong> \u2013 For authors who run a book club promotion, Fable will report sentence-level insights to Draft2Digital about how readers engage with an author\u2019s book when that book is read within a promotional book club. Insights such as most highlighted quotes, ratings, reviews, and reactions will be reported to Draft2Digital\u2019s promotions team who will relay it to the author.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to distribute your books to Fable<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The next time you log onto your account, you\u2019ll see a pop-up notification. This should let you know about this new retail destination, and asking you if you want to opt-in. You can choose to distribute a single title or all of your books. Smashwords authors who have received an eligibility notification to migrate their books to Draft2Digital are encouraged to do so in order to get their books onto Fable\u2019s bookstore shelves.<\/p>\n<p>Want to learn more?
