Mantle Rock Publishing

Writer friend posted that she received a contract from them, and I didn't see a thread about them in the current index on this site. Christian publisher of historical romance, romantic suspense, and contemporary romance.

Anyone have any experience with them?

It looks like your typical small press started by someone who couldn't make a go of trade publishing and wants to "help" other writers in the same boat. The staff has little to no trade publishing experience. The covers are about what you'd expect - cutty-pasty stuff. The website states they are a "traditional royalty paying publisher," but who knows how those royalties are computed (I'd be on alert for the typical "net royalties" model in their contract, which should be avoided at all costs).

On the upside, they focus on a particular niche market and their numbers on Amazon aren't horrible. So there's that.
