About Submarine

SUBMISSION MANAGER FOR CREATIVE WRITERS

Submarine is a submission manager for creative writers. It tracks every query, story, poem, screenplay, and song you send into the world — what you sent, where it went, when, and what came back.

It watches reading windows and deadlines, reminds you when it’s time to nudge or resubmit, and logs fees so you know what a submission season actually costs. A community Library shares venues — journals, contests, and presses — with reading windows and guidelines from other writers.

Who builds it

David Mainelli, founder of Submarine

Submarine is built by David Mainelli, a writer from Nebraska. Like a lot of writers, he tracked his submissions in a spreadsheet and searched his inbox to remember what went where. Eventually the spreadsheet became unwieldy, and he started to miss things. Submarine is the tool he wanted — so he built it, and now other writers use it too.

Submarine launched on the web in 2025, and on the App Store for iPhone and iPad in 2026. It is a one-person operation, run from Nebraska.
