Chart House Press

I got a fave from them too, and turned up pretty much the same info you did. I had a little interaction with them on Twitter yesterday, and got this info:

"We've been around for about 1 1/2 years, and gaining momentum. I'd love to answer any ?s you have!" and "We have three contract types: traditional, hybrid, assisted self-pub. Royalties from 30-60%."

In response to me saying that I didn't see much info out there about them via Google: "It's good you did some hunting! We're very involved in our local writing community, but we're working on expanding our presence."

Me: "don't see any romance in your roster currently. Is that still a genre you are looking to acquire?" (my novel that they faved is a romance)

Chart House Press: "Yes it is! We signed our first romance author last week. "Left to Forever" by @roevalentine comes out 02/2015."

So now I know more than I did. Posting this in case it helps.

Shrug. I'll see where they are in two years. #PitMad is hella fun to watch, but I'm very skeptical of many agents/publishers who show up there.

Agreed. This was my first time participating, and I started hyperventilating when I started getting stars. Then I started Googling and got slightly less excited. Though I did end up with a couple of good prospects, so I call it a win.

Think of PitMad as a speed-dating party with a lot of people you don't know. You get an intro to some interesting folks, but you also need to do your research.

I like start-ups. I've also been screwed over by some of them. If you like them, and they offer, it's still a good idea to only commit work you can afford to lose.

I'd love to know if any other info about them. Also got some interaction during #SFFpit. Asked for pages, but not certain its worth it if they're very small/hybrid.
