"No, go with a different essay. It's probably too late, but once a work is "published" anywhere, whether on the Internet or in a dead-tree format, anything else is considered a reprint. :)
Good luck with the contest!"

"I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure educational essays are republished all the time as long as you own the rights."

"The published essay is longer and includes more details including setting and dialog. The second is more like a letter I might right to a friend. The events are the same in both though and maybe therein lies the faux pas...?"

Advice, Please!
Hi, I'm new to the group and have a quandary I was hoping I could get some feedback on. I have an essay published in an anthology. Now I would like to reword and shorten the same essay for an essay contest that requires that their submissions not be previously published. Is this ethical? See More

"I think you should pose this question to the Publishing group here. I am a member of that group, and I know there are authors as well as publishers who visit the site. They always seem to give great advice!"
Grace Peterson replied to the discussion 'I Need Advice, Please' in the group Essay Writing
"The anthology publisher had first rights only so I know I'm okay that way. I wouldn't resubmit the same essay because the new contest required unpublished essays. I did rewrite it already. It's much shorter and succinct but thought…"
Emily Kennedy replied to the discussion 'I Need Advice, Please' in the group Essay Writing
"Wouldn't you have to check with the anthology publishers as well? This dilemma sounds like one I have heard from college students trying to figure out whether they can re-submit papers already written for different classes. Some…"

I Need Advice, Please
I'm in a quandary and it could be considered a question of ethics. I could use a bit of perspective from other writers. I have an essay published in an anthology. I was just alerted to another opportunity to submit an essay on the same subject matter as the published essay. Because the new opportunity doesn't allow previously published work, I'm thinking of completely rewriting my published essay so I can submit it. Does this make sense? Is it ethical to do this?
