i was talking today with someone about publishing, and she suggested i do this, so i can keep track of places i have submitted to (especially simultaneously) but i cant figure out how that should look/be done...
does anyone else do this?
if yes, how?
Well sort of similar: I use query tracker to keep track of my submissions to agents.
The spreadsheet shows the name of the agent, the agency, when I contacted them, when they responded and whether or not they replied favorably. I don't imagine it's much different for publishers
Eta: if you clickthrough to my blog, I actually posted a picture of the quertytracker spreadsheet.
query tracker works really well for this.
Duotrope, brother. You can export to a spreadsheet and sort by date of submission, place, title of the piece, etc.
