Hi all. I sent out a short story over a year ago to various magazines, and over a year ago it was accepted at an online magazine that pays. Since the acceptance, I have only heard from them once letting me know the publishing schedule, which they did not stick to. They said, as of December, that they are very far behind, and if I would like my story released I should let them know.
Now it's May and I've recently sent them a follow-up email just checking in on the status of my publication. I've had five stories published in the last two years, both in print and online, and this has never happened before, so I'm not quite sure what to do.
I want to sent it to other magazines, but I also don't want to send out a story that's been accepted elsewhere. Should I keep waiting, or get my story released?
