First, the girlie side of me MUST tell you that I like the pink color. :) It's all just personal preference, but I prefer to read my spreadsheets left to right instead of up and down. So I would put the agencies in column A, then all the info, then I would list the dates or time period (weeks or months) to give a visual idea of how long it takes to hear back. At least, that's all the plan in my head. I haven't dared to make a sheet of my own yet! Good luck! Wow, Juliana–this is great!

Mine is drab. Great info you're collecting. I don't have anything to add. It looks great! Btw, your first sentence of the post, nearly made me spit out my coffee!

I wish I'd thought of being organized when I first queried, lol!! I tried a print-out version once, along with a calendar that I crossed off the dates as I waited. Not fun. Now I keep an excel spreadsheet, but mine just has who I've queried, the date and if they've rejected me or not. :) I think it's a great idea to keep track of which agency that agent is from, though, because I've accidently queried two agents from the same agency before. Woops! Good luck, I want to know when you start querying!!! :D Wowza, that looks fantastic! I wish I’d thought of being organized when I first queried, lol!!

But it looks like overkill to me. If you're like me and so many others, you will get mostly negative responses, so that's a lot work and info that you'll probably never need or use. But, it's better to be prepared, I guess. Good luck. It might be helpful to have the agency or agent’s phone number and address. But it looks like overkill to me.

I would just add any specific querks they have to narrow the list down a bit. I get mine narrowed too much though, but you can glean so much info about preferences these days. Good luck querying!

I might need to steal your chart :) Wow – I haven’t gotten quite that far along in the process yet, although I’ve done a little bit of searching for agents and made a list of possible agents I need to research more.
