Hey all,
I'm doing the 52 Week Story Challenge (thanks again Phillip McCollum!) and posting the stories on my website. Not a lot of traffic there: maybe a couple members of my family and a few friends, if I'm lucky. Can I still submit these stories for publication elsewhere? I can't seem to find any definitive guidelines or "rules" about this. Maybe I can only submit them as Reprints...? I dunno. Anybody have any experience with this that can share some links?
Thanks,
Morgan

If you were to submit them anywhere, you'd unfortunately have to do it as reprints. Publishing online, even to a tiny audience, counts as publishing.

Re: Can I submit stories I'm posting on my website?
Publisher submission guidelines occasion whether a given publication considers self-published stories posted on a personal website first publication rights expended. Some say yes, some say nothing, a very few say no. Too many publications to sort those and links out from among the fray.
Everyday Fiction says yes, unequivocal, self-published on a personal site is first publication rights exhausted. Fourth paragraph. One common exception is whether access is public or a restricted access. A password or "Friend" only restriction amounts to non-public publication exception. Everyday Fiction's policy is guide enough for overall professionals' consideration.

Thanks for the explanation on this. It's the information I was looking for.
