What may come next

ARTales is not only a place for finished texts. It is a space for books that can emerge, change shape, find a voice, reach readers and, over time, gain their own patrons. Here are the directions we want to explore.

ARTales

Personalised books

Selected stories may later be commissioned in a more personal form: as a gift, a commemorative edition, an adaptation for a specific reader or a new literary experiment based on a public-domain work.

ARTales

Audiobooks and voice editions

Alongside reading, we want to develop listening: intimate audiobooks, author readings, voice samples and sound editions that preserve the atmosphere of the text.

ARTales

The ARTales author school

Creative workshops, consultations, writing lessons and editorial feedback for emerging and experienced authors. Not just advice, but work with actual texts.

ARTales

Community creation

Readers and authors will be able to join challenges, shared collections, annotated editions, translations, adaptations and themed literary projects.

ARTales

Closer to authors

We want to create a space where readers can follow the making of a work, support an author, ask questions, access working notes or become part of the creative process when the author welcomes it.

ARTales

Custom literary services

For public-domain and original works, readers will later be able to request translation, editing, abridgement, companion notes, learning editions, alternative endings or other literary services.
