Re-publishing Own Content
Hi all! I'm a poet/writer who has been on Steem and Hive for a long time, and I have also published poetry (and a couple of collections) in the classical fashion as well. I was wondering if, re-posting certain poems (which I wrote and have publication rights of) would be frowned up, or whether I should only post original content that is previously unpublished.
The Issue of Publication Rights
Most journals / publishers are very iffy about publication rights, and rarely accept any writing that has been already posted online or published elsewhere. It's a double-edged sword, because if you keep submitting without getting published, your art is dying alone. But if you decide to share it with readers online, you're practically killing your chances for that poem to ever be published. Especially when looking at larger publications, the last thing I want to do is lose opportunities.
I would appreciate your opinion on this! Regardless, I will definitely be on read.cash to post more frequently, but whether that's poetry or other is yet to be decided.
Thank you for asking the question I have wondered too
