How do you nudge? I submitted through Submittable and I'm not sure how to send a follow-up message through there. I've reached the initial 60 mark and would like to nudge. Does anyone know how to message on Submittable?

#DVPit like from Lydia Sharp 13 October 2023

Response from Lydia, and Lydia assisted me by changing my submission from Amy to her after I sent a query, synopsis, and partial request: 14 October 2023

My submission would’ve sat in the “slush pile” and ultimately would’ve been a pass from Amy. I’d encourage any author that submits to Entangled to see if after a pass, that they inquire about resubmitting to a different editor.

Lightly encouraging but probably form rejection, almost 5 months. I had to nudge twice, once after the initial 60 days and then again about 2.5 months later.

Follow-up: I have spoken with several authors who submitted to Entangled. Not one has received an offer. They all experienced the same pattern described below. Submit, wait for months, follow up, receive a form letter from Lydia Sharp requesting more time, wait several more months or even a year, follow up, receive the same robotic form letter requesting more time. Interesting to note that Lydia's books are published by Entangled. For everyone else, the submission process appears to be a waste of time. If I'm wrong, (authors and/or Entangled), please respond with success stories. If there are none, why is Entangled accepting submissions? Based on the feedback I have received from authors and that I see here, I'm not going to submit my work to this publisher. Their process seems to be a joke/mind game.

Has anyone here ever been offered a deal with Entangled? Based on these comments, it looks like the publisher's system is to string authors along with requests for more time and then ultimately reject with a fake form letter (I say fake because the comments here state that they all got the same letter with identical, vague feedback). I was thinking about submitting to them, but the comments here have me concerned. Has anyone had a good experience with this publisher? Please share! It would be helpful for me to make my decision.

Submitted 5/5/22

Do they add this clause to all rejections? It sounds positive, but I'm wondering if everyone hears the same thing:

"In the meantime, please keep us in mind for your next project. We highly encourage you to keep writing, and we'd love to see more from you in the future."
