The Writer's Database: Market & Submission Tracker

Tracking submissions is one of the most critical activities in which a writer engages, outside of the actual writing.

Submissions do get lost in the mail—and on editors' desks. And in the months between sending a manuscript out and receiving it back, you may forget where else you planned to send it, or where you've already sent it. Good record keeping is simply essential.

By far the best online resource for writers to manage the business side of writing. . . . Well done and amazing.

Well designed, well programmed, and more or less intuitive. . . . May well become a part of your everyday routine.

The Writer's Database will keep track of all the markets for your writing, and the status of all the manuscripts you've sent out to each market. You can easilly check on a market's:

Contact information
Rate of pay & estimated response time
Guidelines and other personalized notes

And you can keep track of:

Titles you've written
Manuscripts you've sent out—when and with what result
Money earned for each sale
Editor's comments and other notes

We have recently introduced a number of new features, including daily word count graphs, sending multiple submissions from one screen, more advanced market tagging and searching, and community actions such as (optional) sharing of market listings among all users. More features are planned for incremental release.
