About us

Stories are a civic art.

We are a Washington State nonprofit organized to advance education, literacy, science, and cultural enrichment through visual novels and interactive storytelling.

Our purpose

Make interactive storytelling more open, more thoughtful, and more shared.

The Society of Framed Fables develops and publishes visual novels that bring together writing, art, music, and software development. We believe these forms can deepen cultural understanding and help people practice empathy, curiosity, and creative expression.

Our work also makes room for collaboration: a place for people to appreciate interactive narratives, exchange skills, and find inspiration in one another’s perspectives.

Our commitments

01

Careful storytelling

We treat history, culture, and human experience as subjects that deserve research, context, and humility.

02

Creative access

We value forms of learning that are participatory, interdisciplinary, and welcoming to newcomers.

03

Collaboration

We believe meaningful work grows from the exchange between different skills, backgrounds, and points of view.
