Last year I sold a short story to a small market. I got a check but didn't sign a contract. I assume that after a year, the rights to the story revert back to me. I need to be sure of that, though, because I'd like to submit the story to another, better-known market, and I don't want to get into trouble.
Even if I technically have the right to submit this piece elsewhere, I also want to observe proper etiquette with the first publisher of my piece. I don't want to get a bad reputation.
Any advice out there?
