Submittable is an American software company based in Missoula, Montana. The company develops software for collecting, reviewing, and managing submissions and applications.[1][2][3] It was founded in 2010 by Michael FitzGerald, Bruce Tribbensee, and John Brownell.[4]
History
Submittable began as a submission-management service for publishers and literary magazines.[5][6] FitzGerald, a writer and web developer, developed the service after finding that submissions were being handled through email, postal mail, home-built forms, and enterprise systems.[1] The company was originally called Submishmash.[4]
Submittable was part of Y Combinator in 2012 and raised early funding from 77Ventures, Flywheel Ventures, and Montana-based angel investors.[5] It raised $5 million in Series A funding in 2017 and $10 million in Series B funding in 2019.[6][2] In 2022, GeekWire reported that the company had raised $47 million in Series C funding led by Accel-KKR and had opened a second office in Bellevue, Washington.[3] In 2024, Submittable acquired WizeHive, a software company for grants, scholarships, fellowships, giving, and related programs.[7]
Use in literary publishing
Submittable has been used by writers, editors, journals, presses, and contests to manage literary submissions.[8][9] Poets & Writers described it as one of the established services in the submission-management field, while CMS Critic noted that writers could use one account to track submissions across journals using the platform.[8][10] In 2025, The Writer reported that some literary-magazine editors valued Submittable's organization while others were concerned about its fees.[11]
