What this tracker helps you do

♥ Stay organized → Track submissions, dates, materials sent, status, and notes in one place

♥ Avoid duplicates → See instantly if you’ve already submitted a piece to the same place

♥ Follow up with confidence → Know who to nudge and when—without guesswork

♥ Spot response-time patterns → Learn which markets reply quickly and which take longer

♥ Build a submission history → Keep a record of rejections, requests, acceptances, and feedback

♥ Stay motivated → Watching your “sent” list grow is a real morale boost

♥ Make decisions clearly → Compare requests and offers using your notes and timelines

And because it’s not always obvious why tracking matters (until you’re digging through emails at midnight), this download also includes a short bonus guide: How to Track Your Publishing Submissions (8 pages).
