In mid September the agent's assistant emailed me requesting the full. She said "we're looking forward to reading more." I followed up with an email January 7th to see if the assistant or the agent had gotten around to reading my MS. Have not heard back. (it is now Feb. 15) Does that mean rejection?<BR/>Many thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-40676194552661333032008-02-12T20:05:00.000-05:002008-02-12T20:05:00.000-05:00I'm not sure if it is considered giving away first...I'm not sure if it is considered giving away first rights. To my knowledge there's not been a clear ruling on that in terms of the internet. Don't tell the people you're submitting to that you posted on a website unless the website paid you or told you they wanted to hold rights in the first place.The Rejecterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087643296072075641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-7672919834958650782008-02-12T19:57:00.000-05:002008-02-12T19:57:00.000-05:00Question about "posting your stories online"..... ...Question about "posting your stories online"..... <BR/><BR/>Does this constitute "giving away first rights"? There are lots of sites out there (fictionpress.com being one of them) where one my post to, for fun. But is doing so shooting yourself in the foot?
