Squee! The “Pitch Your Shorts” Winners!
Thank you again to everyone who participated in Pitch Your Shorts with Entangled Publishing. It was a huge success (eleven requests!), thanks to all of you!
The editors have finished their dueling (I heard from a reputable source they arm wrestled to settle their disputes), and the following editors have requested these manuscripts:
Adrien-Luc Sanders, Senior Editor
email: Adrien-luc(at)entangledpublishing(dot)com
- Susan Sipal – Southern Fried Wiccan
- Jaya Lakshmi – Neo-Mecca Mayhem
- Jackie Ashenden – Talking Dirty
- Erin Goffin – Kitty’s Guide to Stripping
Kerry Vail, Associate Editor

Lewis Pollack, Associate Editor

Kerri-Leigh Grady, Associate Editor
email: Kerri-leigh(at)entangledpublishing(dot)com
(For those who are curious, each winner’s name links to their blog/Facebook page and each winner’s manuscript title links to their pitch.)
If Your Manuscript Was Requested…
If your manuscript was requested, please send an email with the full manuscript to the requesting editor (replacing (at) with @ and (dot) with a period in their email addresses above):
- Include REQUESTED in the subject line,
- Write a cover letter in the body of the email, letting them know they requested this through Pitch Your Shorts so they’ll open the attachment, and
- Attach the full manuscript in RTF format.
Learn about the editor requesting your manuscript by checking out their write up on the Pitch Your Shorts post. Read more about them (are they on Twitter?) at Entangled Publishing’s website.
Also, please comment below so I know you saw this request. I’ll need to track down email addresses for any winners who don’t comment below, and I’d appreciate it if you save me from the extra work. *smile*
If Your Manuscript Was Not Requested…
If your manuscript was not requested, the editors are happy to take a second look. Please send your query with the first five pages pasted into the email to the appropriate email address.
- Flirt (10-15K) submissions should be sent to:
flirt-submissions(at)entangledpublishing(dot)com - Ever After (20-40K) submissions should be sent to:
everafter-submissions(at)entangledpublishing(dot)com - Lori Wilde’s Indulgence (45-60K) submissions should be sent to:
indulgence-submissions(at)entangledpublishing(dot)com
Also keep an eye on Entangled’s general submission page (they just added another line for 50-70K category romance suspense stories!) and their blog for special calls for submissions for anthologies. Several pitches that didn’t get requests were very good, so don’t lose hope.
Congratulations to all the winners and good luck with your submissions!
Congratulations to all the winners! This was really fun to participate in. Now off to put the final touches on the manuscript!
Congratulations, Buffy! 🙂
Same to you, Jami! I’m so excited for you!
Hi Buffy,
Aww, thanks! I’m excited for you too. 🙂
Wow, Jami! I’m thrilled. Congrats to everybody. Now, like Buffy, I’m off to re-read one more time before sending.
Thanks for hosting this opportunity, Jami, and to all the Entangled editors!
Congratulations, Susan! 🙂
Thank you for posting the winners, Jami. (I know I’ve been checking the blog religiously since you closed the comments!) Now that I’ve gotten my embarrassing happy dance out of my system, I’m going to join the Polish Club and give my MS one last peek.
Best of luck to everyone else who got a request!
LOL! As will I… 🙂 Congratulations, LK!
Wow, how exciting! I’m so excited. Thanks again for holding this contest.
And congrats to everyone who got a request! Yippee!
Congratulations, Dorothy! 🙂
Congratulations to you as well! I’m crossing my fingers for us all! 🙂
*fingers and toes crossed* 🙂
Whoo-hoo! Congrats to all the winners! Awesome pitches! Now go and turn them into contracts people! 🙂

Hi Murphy,
*snaps salute* Yes, ma’am. 😉 Thanks for the congrats and the comment!
Wow! 11 requests!! That’s awesome!
Congratulations to all the winners!!! All of your pitches were awesome and I wish you the best of luck with turning those requests into contracts! 🙂
Hi Melinda,
I hope you keep trying with your story. You know I loved your pitch. 🙂 Thanks for the congrats and comment!
Thanks, Jami! I most definitely will. I look at this way: it just wasn’t what they were looking for right now, but it gives me time to maybe add a bit more to it and polish it up even more. 😉
Thanks!
Good for you, Melinda! 🙂 *hugs*
Wow! Am totally thrilled! Thanks so much, am off to polish, polish polish before I hit send. Congrats Jami, & all the others too – and thanks for hosting the comp, it was exciting to take part. I might need to lie down, am feeling quite giddy!

A big congrats to those eleven that got picked. Best of luck to you all. 😀

Hi Aldrea,
I agree! I hope everyone who made it this far–having a completed story and a pitch is fantastic–continues to work on sharing those stories. 🙂 Thanks for the comment!
Huh. Was NOT expecting this! *drags out bazooka* Congrats everyone!
Thanks and congrats, Jami! Now, I’m off to put a few finishing touches to my MS. Make sure everything is as spotless at possible, you know.
*hopes that bazooka is shooting confetti* 🙂 Congratulations, Megan!
Oh course 🙂 Confetti for all!
Whee! *dances in confetti*

Hi Susie,
Yes, I’d never been involved in a pitch session like this before either. 🙂 (So I’m so glad it all worked the way it was supposed to. 🙂 ) Thanks for the congrats and the comment!
Congratulations Everyone! This was such a scary, fantastic opportunity. I’ve never done this before. I really enjoyed reading everyone’s pitches.
Congratulations, Erin!
Congrats to the winners 🙂
I wanted to participate in this event, but I didn’t get my longish-short story finished up in time. Seeing the huge success rate here though, I’m favoriting this so I can remember all the awesome editors/publishers who participated.
