Overall Satisfaction with Submittable

Using Submittable for the annual poetry competition allows streamlined submissions and judging experience, saving time and allowing for better communication with submitters.
  • Allowing for a judging process without seeing names and personal information
  • Tracking submission rates in each age group
  • Whenever I've reached out to Submittable staff for help, I've gotten excellent responses and customer service!
  • I'm most appreciative that Submittable staff worked with our limited and set budget to create a platform that completely services the competition
  • I can't think of anything, honestly
  • A tripled submission rate, particularly for youth categories!
I've never had trouble assigning submissions to judges or moving submissions to different stages and categories. I also greatly appreciate being able to easily communicate with any submitter, either en masse or individually!
I apologize, but I don't really understand this question. If it's asking how Submittable has helped with the foundation that provides the grant to pay for Submittable, then the answer is that I have concrete metrics I can report annually to the foundation, instead of having totally everything manually. That is a huge time-saver!
I've only used email submissions and paper submissions before switching to Submittable. I greatly prefer Submittable and am grateful for the funding that allows this competition to use it.

Would you buy Submittable again?

Submittable, unfortunately, is unattainable for most small journals and projects. For example, I've guest-edited several journals that could have benefitted from having Submittable accounts instead of relying on email submissions, but it's too expensive to be realistic for projects and journals that don't have funding.
