Friday Frenzy Wish Lists and Free Critiques




Entranced Publishing is holding competitions in March and April!

First up is #FridayFrenzy on Twitter every Friday in March and April. Writers are invited to submit their polish manuscripts via a 140 character twitter pitch that includes #FridayFrenzy. The senior editors at Entranced will then go through the submissions and make requests.

Their current wish list includes:
  • YA - particularly with strong female lead and a sense of humour.
  • NA contemporary with strong leads.
  • NA Romance.
  • Dystopian Romance
  • Science Fiction
  • Urban Fantasy
  • Steampunk and Gaslamp
  • Paranormal Romance - request for fresh voices, flashy and fun, witty and piquant (think Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark Series) also a request for some minus "creatures".
  • Space Opera
  • Time Travel
  • Manuscripts that blur the line between Science Fiction and Fantasy
  • Historical Romance (BIG ON MULTIPLE EDITORS' WISH LISTS) including: WWII, Civil War,
  • Classic Hollywood/film industry romance.
  • Sexy Pirates, Johnny Depp style (BIG ON MULTIPLE EDITORS' WISH LISTS).
  • Sexy Space Pirates, Nathan Fillion Style.
  • "Sleeping Hunky" fairytale, where the guy is the "damsel" in distress and the MC saves the day with smooches.
  • Superhero/mutant fiction (adult or YA - a la Hush Money or Touch).
  • Re-imagined myths and fairy tales from cultures other than Greek/Roman/Anglo
  • Any manuscript with strong lead characters with intelligence, resourcefulness and wit.
Please note Entranced is not accepting High Fantasy at this point and Friday Frenzy is only open to Entranced Twitter followers.

ALSO

Entranced is giving away critiques for every 50 new followers on Twitter, including 1st page, 1st 5/10 pages, 1st chapter and query critiques.
