Reprints

1 day past a birthday so into the next birth year ---hard to believe as time goes so fast . My bday gift to myself apparently, was waking up with a new cross-border story ---have had some fun already researching the topic. I might try submitting to New England Crime Story Anthology 2018 when it's finished , although ,even if the readings of submissions are 'blind' once they know the author, they may not want to include twice in a row, but that just means it can be submitted elsewhere if that 's the case in due time.

So , as I was doing research on it , I also came across an article about markets for reprints or 2nd 'prints' of items already on blogs or websites and therefore deemed 'published ' . I always was under the impression that it was more difficult to flog such items , but apparently there is some opportunity out there for those items considered previously-published. I will add the link to this article next week for anyone so interested.

In the meantime here is an older article on publishers that accept reprints :

P.S. as promised,some other link references I have found helpful and now for your edification too :---

This brief article is about turning an excerpt into a short story into a full novel :
