This includes separate sections for subs by Commercial Market and another by story title (Invenstory). That way I can double-check to see if story #75 has gone to market X, or what stories market X has gotten. Prevents duplicates.<br /><br />All subs get a WordPad document for the cover letter. And I copy/paste all email rejections and transcribe the written ones into a Latest Rejections WordPad file.<br /><br />Dr. PhilDr. Phil (Physics)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11943336276878704753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-1654400265827339162011-10-31T10:16:21.058-04:002011-10-31T10:16:21.058-04:00Steve:

You can join for free, but it's a really valuable service.<br /><br />I've been using it for 4 years, and keep up my subscription because I will return to the agent search anon.<br /><br />CathAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-55939528738989553142011-10-31T09:30:34.900-04:002011-10-31T09:30:34.900-04:00I tried using Sonar submission software, but hones...I tried using Sonar submission software, but honestly, a spreadsheet was the way to go on this one for me. Agent querying isn't a simple binary, with the differing requirements (sample pages for this one, not for that) and partials and fulls and exclusives that nothing quite did it the way I wanted.<br /><br />Plus, my rejection-triggered cascade plan needed a flow chart. And no one does submissions flow charts.Mernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-47769642210573540742011-10-30T22:37:16.913-04:002011-10-30T22:37:16.913-04:00How hard could it be?
