Reprints

Read 1 Chronicles 16-18

1 Chronicles 16:7 "Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brethren."

In addition to accumulating publishing clips to send with queries, we may want to keep the possibility of reprints in mind. Some markets will reprint an article we already published elsewhere, as long as we didn't sell all rights.

That's two or more paychecks for the same work. How many other occupations offer that kind of bonus?

So when querying our ideas around, we might want to look ahead. We will want to market our original work carefully so our reprint fees will be worthwhile because some reprint markets pay a portion of the original fee and one-half of 3 copies of a publication is not going to help us make a living.
