Stories about our stories
Readers, writers and voice artists on what LabariX means to them.
“I read on the bus to work and pick up exactly where I stopped when I get home. The free episodes every week mean there is always something new, and the stories feel like they were written by people who know my streets.”
“I post a chapter and see readers commenting the same evening. The editor keeps my seasons and characters in order, and having my book reviewed before it went live made me take it more seriously.”
“Narrating a chapter and hearing it go out to listeners is something else. I record, check it, and it goes live with the story. It feels like radio drama, but people can listen whenever they want.”
About Us
Labarix is a storytelling platform built for those who write, read, and give stories a voice. It brings together writers, readers, and voice artists in one immersive space where stories are created, discovered, and experienced in deeper ways.
More than a novel app, Labarix is a home for narratives that linger long after the last page. We believe stories are meant to be felt, heard, and shared connecting people through imagination, emotion, and the power of storytelling.
