Hey, I remember reading that Atlantic article and being curious to see other things you'd written! Pity you don't have an easy-to-Google name...

A question regarding the spreadsheet: have you found it better to just list every pitch you do in order, even if it's the same story? What I do is have publications as columns and stories as rows, so I can easily keep track of where I have or haven't submitted something, but I'm curious if you see an advantage to the straight list.

That makes my day to hear that! And you're telling me -- I'll never be #1 on Google.. :(

In a thread above I listed the story I wrote for Quartz. I used to write on these blogs too:

http://www.michaelthomasblog.com/ -- my angsty young person writing, and fiction

http://www.getsimpledata.com/blog/ -- my last company

http://www.insatiablefox.com/ -- more journalist writing

I'm working on publishing in one place going forward for obvious reasons haha :)

To answer your question, I found that helpful in organizing pitches by day. But I agree it can be helpful to organize by publication. I guess a perfect tracker would be easily sortable and have numbering to tell how many times you've pitched a publication.

Appreciate the kind words and question!
