Use Scrivener to track writing submissions instead of spreadsheets, integrating submission info within writing projects. Create a Submissions folder in Scrivener, add files for each submission, and utilize custom metadata for tracking. View submissions in Outline or Corkboard to easily manage and organize submission details. This method saves time and streamlines the submission process.
