The Story of Syllble studios
Since our founding by Fabrice Guerrier in 2018, we have built hundreds of worlds. Our creator-focused project grew into a global network before our eyes allowing for groundbreaking and innovative storytelling through a variety of mediums, styles, and artists.
Syllble is the place to discover the next generation of creative writers and inspired voices in science fiction and fantasy.
Here at Syllble, we believe creativity born from working together in collaborative worlds is what naturally leads to new eras of storytelling. We’re welcoming the newest era by providing creative writers and visual artists from around the world with spaces—what we like to call fictional worlds—where they can own their craft, their content and have the opportunities to take their stories to the next level.
Membership at Syllble is by invitation only. Our visionary writers and artists are dedicated to advancing the art of collaborative worldbuilding and shaping the future of creative collaboration.
Syllble prioritizes the voices of women, LGBTQ+, and Black creators, Indigenous groups, and all People of Color for fans everywhere to rediscover the heart of science fiction and fantasy!
BUILDING WORLDS, BRIDGING MINDS
Our Team
Founder of Syllble STUDIOS
Fabrice Guerrier
Founder & CEO
Described by The Root as “…using the internet to create a social, political, and intellectual explosion similar to the Harlem Renaissance,” Haitian American writer, painter, and futurist Fabrice Guerrier draws from his cultural heritage and his interests in Afrofuturism, African spiritual traditions, and worldbuilding. He is the author of Breaking Free From Mass Produced Consciousness, Golden Veins: Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy Stories, and No More Vagabonds, No More Obscure Wars: Poems. A leading figure in collaborative worldbuilding, Guerrier explores possible futures alongside global communities through his work at Syllble Studios. In 2018, he founded his collaborative worldbuilding production house to unite writers and artists in protest, constructing and imagining new collaborative worlds, forming artist collectives, and publishing the most compelling stories.
Guerrier envisions a world where radical imagination is a powerful force for cultural and societal transformation. In all aspects of his work, Guerrier contends that collaborative fictional worlds are fertile ground for new epistemologies, Black imaginations, and visions for the future, in a nuanced and critical way, igniting the next generation of storytellers in publishing, Hollywood, and beyond.
He is an associate member of the Hollywood Radio & TV Society, a World Economic Forum Global Shaper, a Gabr Fellow at the Shafik Gabr Foundation and a Senior Fellow at Humanity In Action. He was selected as a 2022 PEN Emerging Voices Fellow finalist and a PEN Haiti Fellow by PEN America. He was inducted into Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Art & Style and named to The Root Magazine’s 100 Most Influential African-Americans. Fabrice lives in Los Angeles, California.
