I've had stories rejected because they were previously published before. On Steem. I guess it doesn't matter much with self-publishing. We'll just have to see how things go because we're still in the early stages of figuring this out.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Publishers all set their own guidelines. Most reputable publishers don't want material that has already been published. But in this case, YOU're the publisher. You get to set the guidelines. If the point is to promote Steemit fiction writers to show people the quality talent Steemit has, the previously published stipulation would be a hindrance, in my opinion. You can show people what has already been published as well as original material from some of the top writer. The bottom line is, you're the publisher. You set the guidelines. I wouldn't follow what everyone else is doing without a real good reason why.
I agree with that, but the same time I don't want the entire book to already be available on here. I think at this point we are probably going to publish pieces of each chapter in order to garner interest, but I'm going to have to check with the rest of the authors.
That makes sense.
