Use an online newsstand or a guidelines database to gather more information about potential markets. If you can't find out from the listing whether a market accepts reprints, send a brief e-mail the editor and ask, or make a very brief, courteous phone call. Choose the markets that offer the highest pay potential first, and work your way down the list. That's up to you. As you build a collection of material, you'll probably find that some pieces are more appropriate for reprint sales than others.
Reprints can provide a viable source of income.
