I'm a newbie to this forum, so please forgive me if this question or subject has been beaten to death before.
I'm in the process of editing an anthology of short stories (science fiction) selected from the stories entered into contests within SFNovelist.com over eight years. The anthology will be published as an ebook.
One of the members of that group asked an important question that I'm not sure how to answer, so I decided to ask you folks.
"Do you hurt your chances of selling a book to a large print publisher if you epublish it elsewhere first?"
The question was for "selling a book to a large print publisher," but we would also like to know the answer for selling a short story to a print publisher.
We deeply appreciate any feedback you can give us.
