Welcome to Bestrew, a tool for writers to keep track of what they've written, where they've sent their writings and what they've published. I called it "bestrew" because it's a funny literary word, rarely used, but which means "to spread around."
What does it Do?
The download includes a thorough overview of the information you might want to record about your submissions. In summary, Bestrew is designed to track three things, along with several details about each:
- What have you created? ("works")
- Where have you sent your work or where might you send it? ("venues")
- Which works have you sent to which venues and what happened? ("submissions")
About Bestrew
I made this because, after trying a lot of different submissions tracking methods, none of them were just right for my needs. I'm just a writer looking for tools to help other writers do more powerful things with their text. As a humble HTML/CSS developer, I'm new to GitHub, SQLite and to application/database development in general, so I could use any input at all. I consider this project to be a fun excuse to learn new things.
How to Use Bestrew
This version is a database file for use with SQLite.
- Install SQLite Software (see the README for more info.).
- Open the
bestrew.sqlite3database file. - Begin entering works, venues and submissions into the appropriate database tables.
