What is it, really?

Projects

Project/Submissions Management

Manage your projects and submissions on any device with an internet browser. Your data is stored safely 'in the cloud'.

  • Record work items in detail; word/paragraph/page counts, multiple genres, statuses and relevant dates
  • Keep a version of your work progress for analysing your productivity or just for bragging rights during events like NaNoWriMo
  • Link work to publishing projects, or multiple pieces into anthologies or collections
  • Submit to markets or literary services, using detailed automated searches; limit by expected payment, multiple word ranges, detailed submission periods and more
  • Manage queries, submissions and bibliographic information
Directory

Markets/Services Directory

Enter markets you find, or literary services you discover, into the shared Literarium directory. Search it to source new anthologies, competitions, markets, editing services, agents, cover artists and more.

  • Add detailed availability windows for a publication
  • Add detailed payment rates based on word ranges or just flat rates, or entry fees for markets such as competitions
  • Add detailed service costs based on word ranges or other rates
  • Specify whether a market needs to be queried first, whether it accepts previously published work and more.

When looking for submissions, prefill your market and service searches against existing projects, ensuring you don't have to wade through hundreds of search results. Closed markets are automatically hidden, and your search results can include information such as how much the market pays, based on the details of your project.

Finance

Finance

Manage income and expenses for your writing business.

  • Record costs and income related to projects, submissions, markets or services
