When a creative product is accepted for publication by Pummarola, the writer retains all rights, including but not limited to the right:
- To reproduce the work
- E.g., make physical or digital copies of your work for colleagues, students, or others

- To distribute copies of the work

In the event the staff of Pummarola wishes to use the material for purposes beyond one-time publication in print or on pummarola.com (for example, in an anthology), the author will be contacted and permission will be requested. If Pummarola staff did not explicitly enumerate these right, unless the author explicitly sold them or gave them away, they would all be retained, which is true in all relationships with publications.
