Pitching Your Book can be hard, but this is how to make it easier:  Use an Excel spreadsheet when querying your book/s! This helps you keep on top of your queries. 

Do you struggle with remembering who you sent your manuscript to? When you sent it and who to send it to next? Rest assured, I've got you covered!

Right now, I'm busy querying my books to book publishers, and this is how I do it when I keep track of who I pitch my ideas to. Open up an Excel spreadsheet and start writing these things down: 

Name the title of the spreadsheet, such as "The Querying Jungle" or "Pitching My Books: An Excel Spreadsheet." 

Name the first column "Date:" which marks when you sent in your manuscript to agents/publishers. 

The second column is for who you sent it to. Name this one: "Sent to." 

The third column is for which book you're querying. Name this one, "Book." 

The fourth column is equally important to know, as it tells how you sent in your manuscript. Name this column, "How I sent it in."

These makes it easier to keep track of things. Is it a landing page on a website, add the link to it here. Was it sent through email, state it here. You'll thank yourself for it when you can't find that email in your inbox because it was sent to a landing page on a website. 

The last column is the most important one: Name this one: "Answer." This is for which answers you get to your queries.

Write "Accepted," "Not accepted," or "Accepted, keep querying." The last states that they liked your work, didn't accept it this time but want you to keep sending in more work to them.

Wishing you all the best in the querying trenches, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you getting your acceptance letter! Good luck!
