Thanks for this. I've been reading and comenting on your series here, and could use you're input... I have a story accepted for an anthology, but the publisher says there will be no pay and that it will be in an omnibus addition. I really would rather submit elsewhere, but im just starting out and need the exposure, and a lot of other well known authors in my genre will be in it. It took him a very long time for him to get back to me, and now he's still vague as to when it's scheduled to come out. I'm kind of wanting to just submit elsewhere without telling him, in hopes of getting in somewhere else sooner, and with possible pay...but, he's a credible publisher in my genre, and I don't want to get a bad reputation for simultaneous submissions when I'm just starting out... Thoughts???
