If you write every day, and you&#x27;ve been published at a pro-rate previously, you most likely have something near-publishable in your trunk.<p>Obviously, the publisher needs to be discerning in what he actually buys. But if you&#x27;re a writer trying to build a relationship with a new publication, I don&#x27;t see any problem recycling work that didn&#x27;t quite hit with some of the established markets.<p>If you&#x27;re unpublished, or you&#x27;ve only been paid lower rates, you probably shouldn&#x27;t be asking the question &quot;Why should I submit here when I can submit to XYZ?&quot; You should just tack the new publisher onto the end of the list, and when you&#x27;ve worked your story through the others, drop it here before it hits the trunk.
