A few months ago, a poetry editor published a poem of mine, along with others, on social media, with a spelling error that we didn't catch at the time (I've just caught it, now, when I looked over it, again; it was published as "though," when it should've been "through"). The poetry editor will also be publishing it that way, as part of an anthology. (There wasn't a contract for me to sign, in case anyone was wondering.)
So, if I want to send the poem to a lit mag that publishes and allows reprints, is it possible for me to submit a version with the spelling mistake corrected for the reprint, or am I required to submit it exactly as it was originally published, with the spelling mistake intact?
