I’m so excited to announce that I have accepted a publicity internship with Entangled Publishing. If all goes as expected, I’ll move into a full time publicity position in about six months.
Hey wait, I thought you wanted to pursue a writing career?
I still do! I have a novel with an editor right now that I’m hoping to submit to agents over the next couple of weeks. That dream isn’t dead or put to the side by any means. However, since creating the YA Fantasy Guide, I realized I love publicity. I have so much fun playing around with social media and interacting with readers that I really want to learn as much as I can from experts.
Why Entangled Publishing?
I originally found EP while reviewing young adult fantasy titles on Netgalley. I started to research and discovered an article about the founder, Liz Pelletier. EP is an exciting new take on eBook publishing, and quite frankly, I wanted to be a part of it.
What will you be doing for them?
Mostly, learning as much as I can from experienced publicists. My knowledge has been mostly self taught so I know I have a lot left to learn. If you want specifics, I know I’ll be helping out on their new blog and working with a new young adult writer that’s about to debut. Truthfully, I’d like to get my hands into every aspect of EP that I can.
What will happen to the YA Fantasy Guide?
Everything will continue as it always has. We will keep updating our reviews and recommendations, provide author and agent interviews, contests, and chats on twitter. Adding EP into my life just means more access to upcoming authors, editors, publicists, and books. Tehehehe, and don’t think for a minute that I won’t use that to my advantage. ;-p

Stacey O’Neale is a full-time writer and co-owner of the Young Adult Fantasy Guide. She’s had several articles and book reviews published, but spends most of her writing time on the revisions to her debut young adult fantasy novel. You can also follow her on Twitter.
Congrats girl! This sounds wonderful and right up your alley. 🙂 To take a phrase from you: Don’t think for a minute I won’t use this to learn more myself. LOL Seriously, very happy for you. 😀
Thanks Julie! I’m really excited for the opportunity.
grats! I read about Entangled and they sound really good.
They really are. I’ve read most of their YA titles and was impressed with not only the writing, but the covers. I love great covers. Sounds odd, but they get me excited to read the book.
Congrats! This sounds like a wonderful opportunity.
It is, thanks!
Congratulations Stacey! This is fantastic. I have no idea who you were up against but I can’t think of anyone better for such a role. I love YA Fantasy Guide & am always impresed with your strong presence on Twitter. Also, why limit ourselves? Are we not allowed to be writers, publishers, promoters, actors, mothers, teachers and more? You go girl! Very impressive. Always a treat to read your work 😉
Such nice things to say, thank you so much! And you’re right, why limit ourselves? Even as a writer, I can use that publicity knowledge to enhance my online presence.
Oh congrats! You must be very happy. I saw them on Netgalley today (requested Stone Cold Seduction, looks good!) & thought they looked interesting. Best of luck for the new role 🙂
I’ve read most of their young adult titles, but I’ve got my eye on a few of their adult ones too. 🙂
This is a great opportunity Stacey. I’m so happy for you. All good things come for those who wait and work hard at their craft. Good luck!
Thank you!
Your talent seems to be limitless on the writing scene. The YA Fantasy guide is still my fav telltale on the in’s and out’s for aspiring writers. You are going to be so awesome! Much congrats.
Thanks so much! Also, I’m glad you like the website and find it helpful. I love hearing that. 😀
Awesome news, Stacey! Congratulations! You’re going to be such an asset to them …
Thanks, I hope so! I’m really excited to learn. 🙂
Congrats on your internship! Sounds like a job that you are totally up for!
I am. It’s tough to find a publicity internship without living in NY so I really happy! 🙂
Congrats! This is an awesome opportunity! 🙂
It is. I’m really looking forward to it.
Congratulations Stacey!!!
I have had a great experience with EP so far… 🙂
Lisa
