Self Identified Competition
Fiction LLC's top competitors include Kindle, Webtoons, and Pokémon as they are companies that possess a significant market share over books, comics, and trading card games. Fiction LLC will hire talented writers, editors, and artists to generate new and compelling intellectual properties with the intent to lease the property to established entertainment production studios. Whereas our competitors host and distribute content, Fiction LLC aims to develop and retain ownership over its intellectual property. In doing so, Fiction LLC opens up a vast array of economic opportunities not afforded to its competitors.
