Talered creates customised fiction books. But what does that mean?
When Talered says customised fiction, we mean a full story, with plots and even illustrations that have been created for you only. And being so unique you can be assured of one thing – the same book and the same story will never exist for anyone else.
How we create our customised books:
We first ask you what you want in the story. We will explain this with the example of our latest book, Adventures of Myra and Miraan: The Forest Edition.
While getting the book made for her niece and nephew (PS: The Third in the Series), Phorum shared a detailed brief. Sharing a part of this here.
Things I want them to know:
To never be afraid when things go wrong, because they will.
To speak their truth, and not shy away from consequences.
Nothing is set in stone.
Every feeling is temporary and it passes.
Family is your backbone, your trampoline, don’t cut them off. Your aunt wants to be the person you run to when you need them.
How we made a book from this brief
We shared a plot outline with Phorum with a general idea of what happens. The one that got incorporated was a story about how M&M go on a forest hike with their family and then at the last minute decide that they no longer want to be around family but want to go it alone.
Their family lets them.
But, deep in the jungle, without any other human around the kids find themselves tested. Fear, hunger and thirst take over. But what can they do? How do they go back and admit that they needed help and may be are not old enough to step out alone?
The book ends with the twins getting reunited with their loving family and finding that help is always around the corner, without any judgement.
Next step: Design
In this edition, Phorum wanted to step away from the format that the previous books had taken. After some trials, we settled on a picturebook feel with heavy imagery and speech bubbles using the twins’ faces.
The book also emphaises how each Talered book can be customised to meet the client’s needs.
