John Hewitt’s Writing Tips: Track your submissions
December 7, 2005 by J.C. Hewitt
Keep a tracking log for your story submissions so that you can know at a glance where you have submitted and what the status of each story is. This will help keep the process organized, and will be especially useful if you make simultaneous submissions and need to alert other publishers that a story is off the market.
There are fancy programs that do this, and you can design your own database, but a simple sheet of paper will do. There are many variables you can track, but here are the key categories:
- The title of the article you submitted
- The title of the publication you submitted to
- The name of the editor you addressed the submission to
- The date you submitted your story
- The status (No Reply Yet, Accepted, Rejected)
- A summary of any feedback you receive
To help people out I have created a simple submission tracking form in RTF (word and open office compatible). Download it here.
