Resources

Writing and Publishing

Trackers, planners, logs and calculators for novelists, freelance writers and self-publishers managing manuscripts, submissions and book sales.

Sheets for people who write and publish their own work: word count and session trackers, manuscript and revision planners, submission and pitch logs, and spreadsheets for self-publishing costs, royalties and event sales. Every rate, fee, target and price is left for you to enter; nothing here supplies figures, contract terms or publishing advice.

25 resources · every one as a printable and fillable PDF in A4 and US Letter, and online · 13 with an Excel workbook.
