Liz Pelletier



Coming out of the dot com era, serial entrepreneur Liz Pelletier has more than thirty years of experience in software engineering, systems analysis, and business management. In 2011, Liz channeled her love of romantic fiction and co-founded Entangled Publishing. 

Her mission statement was simple: offer authors the highest royalties in the industry, combined with an agile publishing program, intense focus on quality, and market-driven analysis, in an effort to bridge the gap between traditional and self-publishing opportunities. 

Over the past ten years, Entangled has gone from a small start-up to mid-size romance publisher, with more than 2700 titles released to date and a majority hitting Amazon bestseller lists.

What is the minimum word-count your agency takes, or your publishing house requires? 
Single title only (80k and upwards)
Category length (45k-55k)
We take both of the above but we’re flexible on those word counts. A single title digital book can be as low as 70k as long as it tells the story in the best way possible. And a category book will sometimes go up to 60k for the same reason. Every book has different needs.

What sub-genres or genres are you not looking for?
We do not publish short stories or collections, novels in verse, literary fiction, or cozy mysteries. For everything else, as long as it feels commercial and has a high concept, we will consider it.

Is there a genre or sub-genre you’re particularly keen to see?
Fantasy with big world building; sci-fi that feels accessible; romcoms and humorous romance; F/F romance in any genre; Regency and Victorian historical romance; mainstream fiction such as domestic thriller, commercial women’s fiction, and new takes on real historical events.

What genre is your personal favourite?
Fantasy. 

What is your major turn-off in a book?
Cheating in a romance. 

What is likely to really knock your socks off besides an engaging voice and well-written book?
A unique hook; something about how the plot is presented that feels different, or a twist in the plot that feels new, or a character type you wouldn’t expect; anything that lends itself well to film, feels cinematic

Any advice to your potential pitchers?
Present the pitch clearly and succinctly so it’s easy to follow. Relax, have fun, we’re all here for the same reason—we love stories!
