Reprints are a great way to keep your fiction working and making money for you. Reprint contracts don't have the exclusivity clauses original sales do, so you can keep selling the same story, keep it in circulation, and keep promoting it.

Those are big dreams with big numbers, and we'll likely be closing late pledges before we get there (we'll need to do that to start processing subscriptions before our first issue in Year 2 - which is happening in July). But we like to dream!

If we reach the stretch goals, absolutely! At $15,500 we'll publish an extra issue in the year (13 issues instead of 12), and at $17,000 we will add another week's worth of pieces to every month (including the extra 13th month) - so 13 more original flash pieces, 13 more poems, 13 more reprints.
