Confusion About Rights

Post by Cheanque »

Hi, Everyone -

Hope ya'll are having a great start to 2009.

I've a question about rights. The little pop up accessed from the submit form says that once usage rights are sold, unique or full rights are no longer available. But the Writer's Tutorial says that unique or full rights can still be obtained even if usage rights have been sold several times. Which is correct? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

Fixing to submit my first article and just want to do everything right.

Thanks!

The first scenario is correct- once usage rights have been sold, unique and full rights are no longer available. This is a recent change in policy and the guidelines haven't been updated yet. Good luck with your writing! WG
