There is nothing quite like having your work published, especially after you have spent months sending your stories or poems to magazines that take forever to respond.
Sadly, the elation you feel when you have finally seen your work in print may be short-lived. Most stories and poems that make their way into literary journals have only a brief shelf-life. After readers have read your work and the issue has been archived, now what?
One good way to extend the life of your work is to send it to literary magazines that accept reprints.
Fortunately, there are a lot of literary magazines willing to accept work that has already been published. Very few of them pay, because reprints have little value in the literary marketplace. (Only the first magazine that publishes your work will be credited.) However, some venues, notably podcasts, pay competitive rates for work that has been previously published.
All of these publications accept reprints. Make sure you read their websites carefully to see if your work will be a good fit. And make sure that all rights have reverted to you when you submit to them. (Look at the contract you signed with the original publisher. It should say "All rights revert to author upon publication" or "All rights revert to author after X months.")
