What is Duosuma?

Duosuma is Duotrope's Submission Manager. It helps publishing projects and literary agents receive and manage their submissions quickly, easily, and affordably.

Features for Submitters

No Charge! For submitters, there is no charge to use Duosuma. You only need a Duotrope account. You are not required to have a paid Duotrope subscription (although you get extra perks if you do). Also, if a project chooses to charge submission fees or collect "tip jar" payments, those payments go directly to their account; we don't take a single penny.

Status Checks. You can check on the status of your current and past Duosuma submissions at any time. If you have a Duotrope subscription, all eligible Duosuma submissions will automatically be logged to your Duotrope Submission Tracker, too.

Simplified File Management. When you submit a file for a particular piece, we will keep a copy of that file on your account (for your use only). Then, when you submit that piece again, you'll be able to simply select the previously uploaded file from a drop-down list, instead of having to upload another copy (if that file meets the requirements of the submission call).

Easy Withdrawals. If you need to withdraw a submission or a part of a submission, you can do that with just a few clicks.

Better Transparency. When projects require submission fees or have set deadlines, that information will always be clearly displayed. Also, if the project self-imposes a submission quota, a progress bar will indicate how much of the quota has been used.
NOTE! Duosuma never requires any project to have a quota or to charge fees.

How to Get Started

To submit through Duosuma, the only thing you need is a Duotrope account. A paid Duotrope subscription is not required.
