Writing resources: submission tracking
I’ve found four free options for tracking your submissions to agents, editors and publishers.
The first is Sonar, by the same guy who does the yWriter novel organization software. It’s pretty straightforward and easy to use. And it’s only available for Windows.
Next is an online solution, Luminary’s Writer’s Database—very handy if you use multiple computers (or also access the web via mobile phone) because your data will always be available as long as you have an Internet connection. This means you can use it regardless of your OS. It also has the benefit of community, allowing users to share market listings with other users.
Slushomatic is an open-source submissions tracking system for, as far as I can tell, Windows and Linux. It can also format your manuscript according to standard submission guidelines.
For Mac users, there’s Manuscript Tracker. It looks like it covers your basic submission tracking needs. I’ll check it out over the next few weeks and let you know more.
