What's the etiquette for querying reprints?
Eg if something sells in July, to an anthology that comes out the following spring, do you have to wait till after it comes out and has expired before querying the reprint elsewhere or can you query sooner with the stipulation re date?
(Dates are pulled out of thin air for illustrating the example.)
Sorry if this has been asked before. I did search but maybe used the wrong terms or something.
