Does a blog count as a publication?

Many editors consider anything published anywhere at any time under any circumstances as published. This can even include public readings. With such editors, a poem posted anywhere counts as publication, whether it’s posted in a public forum or blog, or even a private, password-protected location online.

Can a self published book be republished?

It is possible to bring a self-published book into the traditional publishing industry as long as one important detail is taken care of: you’ve retained the rights to your book. That makes it possible to take your self-published book to an agent or a publishing house if you choose to try to do so at a later time.

Who decides if a book gets published?

Most publishers have two physical board meetings to help make the decision whether or not to publish a book. This process varies from publisher to publisher and each company has its own name for its board meetings. Thus many authors get confused when hearing different labels.

Can a book be published twice?

In that case, the author is free to submit the book to another publisher. Once the book has passed over into the public domain, then any publisher can choose to publish the book and make it available to readers. This is by far the most common means by which multiple publishers end up publishing the same book.

Does self publishing hurt your chances?

Self-publishing does not hurt your chances with a traditional publisher at all. The opposite is true, actually. Self-publishing a book and having success can make it more likely you’ll publish with a traditional publishing house. Major publishers like their authors to have an edge.
