I previously submitted my manuscript to a Samhain anthology call and it didn make the final cut. May I resubmit it?
Again, sorry, no. Our anthologies normally have specific themes, so if a themed story isn’t chosen for the anthology, it would be counter-productive for us to release the story separately, because it over-saturates the market with that type of story, and makes the anthology less “special”. Occasionally the anthology editor will pass on a stand-out story to another editor for consideration, but this is at the editor’s discretion, and she’ll let you know she’s done so. Once you’ve received a rejection letter on your manuscript, we’re afraid that’s it as far as publication with Samhain is concerned.
