Sonar Submission Tracker

 For writers who are actively submitting fiction, non-fiction, and poetry work, keeping track of what works went where and when can be a bit of an overwhelming task. Developing a centralized system for organizing your information (as well as documenting what kind of feedback you're getting from your submissions) is key to long-term success.

Note: I am not a paid advertiser or anything of the sort. This happens to be the program I personally use and since it is absolutely FREE there's no incentive for me to plug it anyway. 

The Sonar Tool is a very lite program that acts as a database for submission information. It is no frills and very functional -- you can add markets, works, and document submissions. It's all very one-click with text boxes for specific info such as the name of the editor of XYZ Magazine or what kind of comments you got back from your submission. It documents how many days your submission has been sitting at any one market. Best part? It was developed by a fellow writer who was having the same problem keeping track of his submissions. 

Version 3 is available for PC, Mac OS, and Linux -- did I mention it's completely FREE? 

I like free. I think most people do. Check it out and see if it's the one for you.
