A fellow writer came up with the idea for an anthology and solicited short stories from 25 other writers, including me, in 2012. He also started a Kickstarter campaign to pay for editing and publishing the book. My short story was one of the stories in the book. The book is on Amazon and the publisher is listed as the guy's last name. I've made $32 from it. Am I considered "published" ? Am I considered "self-published" even though I didn't create the book or sell it? Help, what am I???!! Trying to figure out if I'm ineligible for contests or projects that don't want previously published authors submitting.
