If I post here, will I still be able to submit to a mag?
I have an easy fun pot holder- hot pad that is great for a holiday hostess gift. If I post pictures and instructions here, can I still submit them to a magazine for publishing next year for the holiday issue??

I think you would need to check with the magazine on their specific requirements.
|
Guess that would depend on what the magazine;s policies are
|
I have submitted to a magazine and they wanted it to not be previously published. Is QB considered already published? I don't know but I held off posting but they never contacted me anyway after they received my jpg. Hope you have better luck.

Generally, yes, shared on the internet is considered to be published.
|
Magazines only want unpublished material. Don't post here if you are planning to submit it.
|
It could take several years for a magazine to publish your pattern, then they own the copyright for it for a certain amount of time. The few published designers I know design patterns just for magazines that they do not plan on selling to shops or use an old pattern that is not being reordered.

Thanks everyone this is such a simple pattern that maybe it doesn't make the cut for publication. |
