ABOUT REPRINT RIGHTS

Q. If you offer a reprint to a magazine and they ask to hold it for two years before publishing it, can you market reprint rights to other publications while it's being held?

A. Since you are offering all the publications only reprint rights, you can technically offer it to as many publications as you wish, either one at a time or simultaneously. That is one of the advantages to selling reprint rights, there is no obligation to wait until one publisher publishes it before resubmitting it. The publisher holding it for two years understands this.
