Why Go Paid?

You don’t have to.
That’s the truth.

You can keep reading Fable Keeper for free. One story a month, straight to your inbox. No pressure. No sales pitch.

But if this work has spoken to you — really spoken — then this is your invitation to step deeper.

What Paid Subscribers Get

The Keeper’s Circle is where the full stories live.
It’s for those who want more than just a glimpse.

When you go paid, you get:

Full retellings of fables and myths
Private essays and reflections I don’t publish anywhere else
First access to new projects (like print collections, merch, and more.)
Quiet extras — the behind-the-scenes thinking, the things I’m still working through

Some of it’s more poetic.
Some of it’s more raw.
All of it is written with the same care — just shared more intimately.

But More Than That...

You’re not just paying for content.
You’re keeping this alive.

You're helping create a space where stories still matter. Where we can pause and feel and ask better questions. You're allowing us to keep this work focused, independent, and deeply human.

Every paid subscription helps us keep Fable Keeper sustainable — and helps keep it free for others who may need it, but can’t pay yet.

You’re not just a reader. You’re a Fable Keeper.

What It Costs

$5/month — less than a cup of coffee
$50/year — two months free

You can cancel any time. No hard feelings.

But if something here has landed in you… if you want to help keep the old stories burning… We’d be honored to have you inside the Keeper’s Circle.

Thank you.
For reading. For caring. For keeping the fire.
