Kristin, I think it depends what rights you sold to the magazine. If you sold all rights, you're out of luck unless they give permission. But if you just sold "first North American serial rights" or similar, you should be good to go.

Hm. This magazine doesn't specify. It just tells me how to submit.

In your cover letter, I believe you can specify that the first North American serial rights are what's being offered. If they quibble, you can reconsider.

Sometimes it doesn't come up until they offer to buy it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Just make sure you know what rights you're keeping and what rights you're selling. When the magazine expresses a desire to buy, ask them then.

Excellent, thank you all for the good advice.
(BTW, thanks for saying "when" rather than "if", Deb! You just made me grin.)

Can someone with access to a better dictionary than I have get me dates for the following words?
- hussy
- strumpet
- uppity
I really should add a good dictionary to my wish list.

Art Crawl!!!
I don't have a date but my dictionary says that hussy is from Middle English "huswife".
It says that "strumpet" is also Middle English but connected with OF (Old French?) strupe from L stuprum - dishonor.
Both of my dictionaries just say that "uppity" is colloquial.

I'm pretty sure I can get by with strumpet, but I'm not sure that uppity existed, nor that hussy had acquired its slutty definition, in 1809. Which is too bad, especially WRT uppity. There's no other single word that conveys the same meaning.
