Entangled Publishing: Now Accepting Book Manuscripts

Updated February 2025

Entangled Publishing is an independent publisher of adult and young adult romantic fiction. Since its first release in July 2011, Entangled has published more than 970 titles. This number includes a lot of titles that have made it onto the New York Times Bestsellers list and the USA Today Bestsellers list. Some of their more famous books are Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, and Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Entangled Publishing has a number of imprints that focus on different subgenres of romance. They are currently in the process re-branding and creating new imprints, and some of the imprint links on the website, were not working at the time of this update.

In 2019 they signed a controversial author duo that is banned on Amazon, and that created some ongoing bad press. You can read about it here. I think this raises serious questions and should be taken into consideration.

In 2025 they were sued alongside their bestselling author Tracy Wolf and her agent Emily Sylvan Kim, over copyright infringement. They were sued by Lynne Freeman, an unpublished author, who was previously represented by Emily Sylvan Kim,who and failed to sell Freeman’s book, which has overlap with Wolff’s NYT’s Bestselling book. The story is covered briefly here, and in depth in The New Yorker (this link involves a paywall/limit). The story is worth reading on several levels, especially for authors and readers of genre fiction.

Submit to only one imprint per title. They will move the submission if it would be better for another imprint. Do carefully review each of the imprints before submitting.

All submissions must include a query letter and the full manuscript unless you are a bestselling author or an author who has published with Entangled previously.

They promise that all submissions will be responded to with a rejection, a request to take to their board of acquisitions, or a revision request within 60 days.

They are distributed by Macmillan, one of the largest distributors, and they have a joint partnership with St. Martin’s Press. Many of their titles are also released in audio format.

They claim to create an individual marketing plan for every book that they release. Their website is engaging, well organized, and well designed.

All submissions are made via the online submission platform Submittable.
