I saw that Entangled just made its first foreign rights deal, selling Turkish rights to eight of their books:

Their blog also hints that they have more such sales coming. Awesome step forward for Entangled, especially being so new on the block.

I really need to write something so I can sub to the them. They seem really top notch. Maybe my next project will be more their style. I can hope.

Received a lovely, thoughtful rejection from Heather this weekend on my full. Not quite right for their line. I would most definitely submit to Entangled again with another project.

Onward...

I'm so sorry tanstaafl8.

Hope you have better luck next time!

I've had a full out to Entangled for seven weeks. Just sent a status query email since their website indicated a six week response time.

Let us know what happens ...
And good luck!!!

They're making some great foreign sales for a new kid on the block. They just sold foreign rights to Random House Germany for one of their books in a 2 book deal.

I queried them the other day... With an old version of my query that didn't mention the romantic element. Since romance is their thing, I don't have high hopes for that query. It's probably not a good idea to send them an "Oops, I goofed!" email right? Lol

Oh well, it won't be my first R and probably not the last.

I forgot to ask: is your full with Heather or Liz?
Thanks!

Got a personalized rejection the same day I sent the status query.

Hugs ((((((((((((((Ajkjd01))))))))

Sorry to hear this.
I've had a full with Heather for 6 weeks so I'm waiting for an answer soon. Good luck with your submissions.

Sorry, ajkjd01 =(

And good luck to you BethMac!
Let us know how it goes ...

Oh, do you have plans to nudge them if the 6 weeks go by and nothing happens?

Thanks!

Ah, last night, on twitter, Liz said she would go thru her submission inbox until she had answered them all.

I wonder if that means she will go thru fulls too. I hope it does.

Yesterday, my full completed 6 weeks on her hands ... I'm seriously anxious, but I really didn't want to nudge her ... I might wait 2 more weeks (if I can handle myself till then lol).

Well, let's see ...

Entangled

Wait...how is this publisher doing so well when it's so new? What did I miss?

Nudged and got a reject the next day.
I get the feeling they act fast when they want something. Just my impression from some of the success stories I've read from them.

Heather gave me great feedback and it confirms other beta impressions so I'm rewriting as an adult contemporary.

Good luck to everyone waiting and submitting.

I don't understand the logic behind this question. Are you saying that you think all new publishers need to do poorly? Surely those that start out poorly are nearly guaranteed to fail. Those that start out well can still go down the tubes, but at least have a chance of surviving and doing well for the long term.

Good new epublishers do tend to leave the gates strong and keep going, not dawdle around.

That said, I don't know what sales at Entangled are like.

7 weeks ...

Their website says "Please allow up to six weeks for a response to queries and requests."

I'll ask "what should I do?", you guys will say "nudge", but I'm so afraid that nudging will seem desperate (not that I am, uh!) and unprofessional.

I'm sitting on my hands not to send an email out ...

I thought the wait would get easier once you're in this business for a while, but omg it doesn't!

I'm just an observer, but it seems as if the six-week response time needs to be upped to 8 weeks or 3 months now that they are fully operational...

I'd wait.

I just got a full request from Liz on something I subbed about a week ago.

Just seen this tweet from Entangled and thought I'd share...

For those waiting for a response for their query, we're still working and won't stop til we're caught up tonight.

And here is the latest tweet: "After 6 straight hours of queries... We're up to 10/16 in submission slushpile. YAY. If you didn't receive a response, pls requery." (tweet here)

They tweeted last week to say that they are now working to an 8-week response time on full manuscripts. Dunno if it's been updated on the website.

anybody sub'd for the Steampunk Antho?

:stares at PR nanowrimo: Yeah, that's not going to happen. lol

No, but I sub'd for last month's superhereo anthology. Got a R&R for their novella line. **squee!** So I'm working on that now. They responded within days to my sub with very detailed suggestions for revisions. I've had a great experience so far!
