[Journalists] Question re magazine submissions

[LoriStay at aol.com]

I have!   Early on when Slate & Style began running fiction contests, the 
story that won the contest was also submitted to the Braille Monitor, which came 
out with it shortly before we did, and made us feel ridiculous.   Partly that 
has to do with the fact we serve the same market, albeit a smaller portion of 
it.   So we now ask that articles, stories, etc. submitted to us not be 
submitted elsewhere at the same time.   We can't stop people from doing it, but as 
they say, once bitten!   It makes me feel very cautious about accepting a story 
from someone who has done this without at least telling us what they were up 
to.
