Two of my articles "10 superb summer flowers" and
"Growing perennials" have been sold for fullrights. I would like to know where they would be published?
My Licences sayes "Others".

Congratulations on selling those articles. I don't work for C-C but here's my 2 cents:

If they were sold for "full rights" I would encourage you to respect the purchaser's privacy and not pursue the matter. Technically, those are no longer your articles.

Congratuations again and "Best Wishes".

If they were published with your name on them, you can still use your articles for clips, even if they were sold for full rights.
One way to look for them is to type key phrase from the article(s) or the title into Google. I have had great success finding sold articles by typing in my own name within quote marks.
As long as you don't try to resell the articles you are still permitted to take an interest in where they ended up.

I don't have any problem with looking for them in Google but the fact that the buyer chose "other" says that he/she didn't care to disclose that info and likely intends to treat them as his/her own. I just really think you should respect the buyer's privacy. I'm sure this won't be a popular opinion, but I'd never use clips from an article I ghostwrote.

Best Wishes,

Well, you wouldn't be able to, as anything you ghost write would be under someone else's name. But many of CC full rights articles appear under the original writer's name on public websites, so there isn't a privacy or copyright issue there - they can be used for clips. They can't be sold again, because the rights now belong to someone else - the key is whether they choose to give you the byline or not - if they don't, or run it under another name, then of course you can't use the article for clips.
But if you run a vanity search on your own name, only those articles tht have been accredited to you will show up anyway.

Hello Gail and Lisa,

I agree with you, Gail. I have searched on Google to see where some of my articles went. I really can't see anything wrong with that, and it was quite interesting.

Regards,
