Good morning, everyone!
I am branching out on selling my articles (I do have one individual who has been assigning me work for years but this is primarily ghost writing and I'd like to get my own name out there again).
I am wondering:
1. I am submitting to several sites at a time with the same (currently, as a test) two articles. By doing this, am I implying that it is already as good as in the first taker's hands? In other words, can I then refuse if they say they'd like to accept it but I get a better offer at the same time?
2. Do I actually submit the full article or do I submit my idea and credentials? I don't want my article to be assumed as "given" automatically to the person reading it until I understand their terms (not all do on their Submission Guidelines). On the other hand, I'm not sure whether people currently accept ideas rather than requiring the full article automatically.
Thanks!
