Recently a writer asked me how I keep track of my submissions, this is something I hadn’t thought about often, but something I do day after day.

Some writers use their computers, others use index cards, notebooks, and some write the information on the files they keep for each project. Others use all of the above.

I published one middle grade novel with a school book fair house. It was eaten this summer by a bigger school book fair house. My second novel had been edited. The art was done. It was going to press. Kaboom. The big guy says they bought the boxes but not the rights to unpublished books. Was my book published? I got an advance. The people that bought it do not exist any more (I don’t think). Shall I try to sell the book to someone else?
