Hi and welcome, Asim-- Every author at OMTimes retains copyright of the work they produce. Submitting here to OMTimes gives us your permission to use your written work, in line with the guidelines of submission and terms of use and copyright as they are outlined here: http://community.omtimes.com/page/guidelines-1

Please note there are additional sub-headings under that guideline section. Some answers to technical issues about articles may be found here: http://community.omtimes.com/page/3288748:Page:140245

That said, many writers who submit articles for publication will wait until OMTimes has printed them in the magazine and distributed them on the website before making them available for others to read. While many take pride in presentation, OMTimes does provide images and graphics to accompany articles that may not be the same as what individuals may post on personal pages. 

If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thank you! ~ Blessings!

I am new as well and that was my first question.  Kathy, you said that most people wait until after OM Times has published their article to share it publicly.  What if I have an article I'd like to submit to OM Times that is already on my blog?  Is that acceptable or would you rather that I submit something original and then release it publicly after OM Times has published it?

 Hi Lisa,

 Yes you may post here your article, provided that it is posted on your blog. We do no accept submissions that have been posted in other magazines and websites, because Google changed the way to deal with multiple submission of the same article.  If it is your site and your post, it is all good for our submission.

I hope this helps.

Namaste.
