Our hours are currently flexible Monday-Thursday. We are open 12:00pm-5:00pm on Friday and 11:00am-4:00pm on Saturdays, and closed Sundays. Occasionally we will need to close early so we recommend checking our Facebook for updates. If you're in the area and would like to stop by on a day we're closed or have flexible hours, please don't hesitate to message us and we will do our best to accommodate you! At the moment, Fox and Fable is run by a husband and wife couple who have full-time schedules outside of the shop, so open hours during the work week may vary.

Yes! We can host small events in our space for private book clubs, bookish girls' nights, and other occasions. At this time the only events we cannot host are children's birthday parties. Generally, we charge $25 per hour of event, but this may vary depending on the extent of set up and materials required (such as, if you'd like us to set up and tear down your event, balloon arches, or any floral work provided by our attached flower shop Flowers N Friends). If you'd like to host an event, please call us at 479-846-BOOK or email us at connect@foxandfablebookstore.com.

**Please note, we are not actively searching for indie authors outside of the Northwest Arkansas area at this time. Additionally, we will not carry books written by or with generative AI, including books featuring AI artwork or covers. firstly, welcome, and secondly, we love working with local indie authors! We recommend sending an email detailing your book and a little about yourself to connect@foxandfablebookstore.com. If we feel your book would be a good addition to our shop we will order copies directly from Ingram. If you are an Amazon only author we may not stock your book. Amazon has had a negative effect on the book industry for independent bookstores. While rates are back on the rise, Amazon did considerable damage to the industry. You can read more about that here and here. "The period after Amazon’s 1995 launch did significant damage to the bookstore business, with the ABA reporting a 43% drop in book stores five years after Amazon’s first year in business, and the rebound only began in the decade starting 2009 — two years after the introduction of the Kindle in 2007. But it is a turnaround that Raffaelli attributes to elements of the bookstore model that are hard to recreate in a virtual-only world."-Trevor Laurence Jockims, CNBC (link)

Yes! Friendly and vaccinated dogs are welcome in our store. Please note: our shop dog roams freely around our shop and the flower shop in the back, so please do not bring in aggressive dogs.

Due to our schedule, we are not currently hosting signings. If you'd like to inquire to be put on a waitlist, please email connect@foxandfablebookstore.com. Special consideration will be given to authors who write fantasy, horror, and local-based fiction.
