A publishing label for stories that need a new kind of home.
Some stories fit neatly into the formats we already have, and those stories are well served. Chapterists Imprint exists for the others.
Publishing
For stories that need more room.
You have a world in your head. You can see the light falling through its windows, hear the conversations in its streets, feel the weight of its history. You have tried to fit it into a screenplay, a pilot, a design document. It keeps overflowing.
Chapterists Imprint is how those stories reach an audience. We offer editorial partnership from first draft through to launch, production support to help you build the world properly, funding to get it off the ground, and marketing to make sure people find it. Your name on the work, our name beside it.
If your story has always felt like it needed more room than any existing format could offer, it probably does.
Development
For builders.
Olvido is the narrative engine that powers every world we publish. If you are already building on it, or exploring whether your project belongs there, we want to hear from you.
We provide access to the full Olvido toolchain: branching narrative authoring, per-player world state, seasonal publishing, and the creation bridge that connects your story layer to the engines where your world comes to life. Think of it the way you would think of a book imprint or an independent film label, but with the development tools built in.
What we look for.
Stories that push the art of storytelling forward. Worlds with weight, where the setting is as important as the characters who move through it. Projects that make us lean forward and ask what happens next, then ask what happened before, then ask what is happening right now in the parts of the world we cannot see.
We are drawn to ambition more than polish. An original idea with rough edges will always interest us more than a familiar one with a perfect surface. We publish selectively because every world we take on gets our full attention, and the question we keep asking is simple: does this story need to be explored to be fully understood? If the answer is yes, we should talk.
Tell us what you're building.
No pitch decks. No capability statements. Just tell us the story, the world, and why it needs more room than it currently has. If it resonates, we will write back.
