Yes, I had asked if they received my new submission, and Lydia replied that they did, and it's in review now. I'll post when I hear something.

I submitted a novel in late Sept. Received a email 2 days ago asking for more time, that it is still in review. I hope that's a good sign. they also asked if I get another offer to let them know.
Sorry if this has already been brought up, but I had a question about the Teen Crush Guidelines.
It says:
Dual point of view. Third-person point of view is preferred, but we will consider first-person POV on a case-by-case basis.
Does this mean they don't want first-person POV? Because so far every Teen Crush book I have read is first-person...I have even been reading the little previews of some of the other Teen Crush books available on their website (you can read the first couple pages) and so far every one I click on is first-person, so I'm very confused! Or does it just mean they prefer the Dual POV over just first-person/one narrator? Most of them seem like Dual POV (both players in the romance) and each character is written in first-person.
Well, just when I thought I wouldn't hear from Entangled, I had one of their 'thanks for your patience, we are still considering your manuscript' e-mails. I'm hopeful, but who knows? Can anybody tell me how long after receiving one of those e-mails they got their offer/pass? Thanks!
I got one of these emails, and then another month later got a second (totally different) email asking for still more time. About a month after that the editor came back to me and asked if I'd be open to making some changes before she made a final decision. This was about this time last year though, so things could be different now, or could be different with a different editor. Good luck though - if they'd read the first pages and hated it, they wouldn't have asked for more time, so hopefully this means good things for you!
Did either/both of you submit through Submittable or direct to an editor? I've had a manuscript with an editor since the beginning of Feb and haven't received any emails since she replied to say it was in her queue.
I have not received any communication since the January email asking for patience. Do you think it's OK to query at this point? I can't find any guidelines for when to query on their site. I sent my manuscript in November 2017.

Entangled has now held my submission for seven months. I have inquired twice, a month apart, with no replies. I just finished a big project which opens my time up to work on something else, or to prepare this novel for self-publishing. Which is probably what I need to do, but some part of me is holding out hope. Should I withdraw my submission? Is there any point in leaving it any longer? The longest I've seen other authors say they waited is six months. I don't want to withdraw in a fit of pique that they never replied to me, but it IS pretty annoying TBH.
