I recently sold a story and they bought the rights with only 2 provisions:
1) I can use it in a book of my own works
2) I can submit it to another publication that has under 2500 circulation.
Now, if I send it in to a book that isn't published yet how am I to know how many it will sell?
This story I wrote seems to fit many other publications I've come across. Is there any way to change a few words so it isn't the EXACT story and submit THAT? Would that be legal? Like maybe to change the name of the character?
What can I do to be able to submit that story elsewhere and yet not break my contract?
HELP!!!
