Querying a novel means sending the same package out in careful batches and then waiting — sometimes for months. SubLog gives you one calm place to see which agents have your query, who's asked for pages, and who has gone quiet, so you can keep the pipeline full without double-querying anyone.
Open SubLog — it's free →Log each agent as a submission under your manuscript: the date you queried, whether it's still pending, and the outcome. SubLog shows how many queries are still out at any moment, so when you're ready to send the next batch of five you know exactly how many are in flight — the discipline that keeps a query campaign from stalling.
A query tracker earns its keep when an agent responds. Record a full or partial request in the notes, mark a pass, and note whether it was a form rejection or a personal one that invited a future project. SubLog calculates your average agent response time and surfaces your longest-pending query — the one that's quietly aged past an agent's stated timeline and may be worth a polite status nudge.
The difference between twenty form rejections and twenty personalized passes with page requests tells you whether the problem is your query letter or the pages themselves. Because SubLog separates form from personal rejections and tracks your request rate, your query history becomes diagnostic instead of just demoralizing.
