Blurring the lines between self-publishing and traditional publishing.

We care deeply about disrupting the traditional publishing industry and supporting the next generation of great writers. That's why we started Tablo Tales, a publishing imprint that offers traditional representation to the most extraordinary Tablo authors. Tablo Tales represents authors like NYT Bestseller Claire Messud and Instagram sensation Liz Climo.
