Several months ago we published a post called 16 Sites That Accept Previously Published Writing. This was popular in large part because we all love to get mileage out of our posts.
Personally, I tend to publish things on my own blog and one other site at most (with a few exceptions). This is just a personal practice coming from the standpoint of not wanting to undermine my first host site with my work popping up in a bunch of other places. If you are considering re-publishing in multiple places, be sure to ask your host site(s) what their preference is as far as how long they’d like you to wait before republishing elsewhere. Even if there is no contract in place, it is good practice to try to adhere to their wishes if you want to work with them again in the future. Be sure to fully disclose when submitting where else the piece has been published and as long as you retain the rights, you should be good to go.
Keep in mind is that sites that typically pay for content, often only pay for original content, and not your republished work.
Here are 16 more sites that are open to considering work that has been previously published:
Midlife Boulevard - I have not personally published here yet, but they have a great contributor community and I know many other bloggers who contribute regularly.
“Bringing together the best of midlife women writers in one place, Midlife Boulevard is the best online resource for women who have reached their 40’s, 50’s and beyond. With hundreds of contributors and new ones discovered all the time, we publish 15-20 new posts each week, ranging in topics from menopause to fashion to marriage to empty nesting – and much more!”
Contributor Information Form
The Mighty – I love that they accept previously published material, since many bloggers who write about their own or a family member’s disability/disease/disorder have already written about it on their own site and may want to get in front of a great fit audience through The Mighty.
“We find strength, joy and beauty in disability and disease.”

Mom Babble – I’ve been published on Mom Babble with a previously published piece and it was a great way to get more eyes on a piece that had run its course on my personal blog. They are great at keeping contributors in the loop about upcoming themes and calls for various topics on their site.
“Just a community of real moms doing our best to make sense of the nonsense…. heart-felt personal essays, recipes that are good for the whole family, and humorous commentaries on parent life.”

RoleReboot – This site has lots of original material, but is open to republished material as well as Nicole discusses in out interview linked below.
“We are most interested in essay-style, first-person narrative storytelling and cultural critique about current events from folks who are rethinking “tradition,” breaking through stereotypes, and bucking expectations about their roles.”
