Having read Matthew Stewart's From pamphlet to full collection post and re-read my Career paths post I was interested to see the fate of poets who'd had debut pamphlet publications with HappenStance. Here's a list of people who've continued publishing elsewhere (apologies for any omissions)

| Patricia Ace | "First Blood", 2006 | "Fabulous Beast" (Freight books, 2013) |
| Clare Best | "Treasure Ground", 2010 | "Excisions" (Waterloo Press, 2011) "Breastless" (Pighog, 2011) (pamphlet) |
| Anne Caldwell | "Slug Language", 2008 | "Talking with the Dead" (Cinnamon Press, 2011) |
| Niall Campbell | "After the Creel Fleet", 2012 | "Moontide" (Bloodaxe, 2014) |
| Rose Cook | "Everyday Festival", 2009 | "Taking Flight" (Oversteps, 2009) "Notes from a Bright Field" (Cultured Llama, 2013) |
| Peter Daniels | "Mr Luczinski makes a move", 2011 | "Counting Eggs" (Mulfran Press, 2012) "Vladislav Khodasevich:Selected Poems" (Angel Classics, 2013) translations |

| Gregory Leadbetter | "The Body in the Well", 2007 | "Coleridge and the Daemonic Imagination" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) theory |
| Eleanor Livingstone | "The Last King of Fife", 2005 | "Even the Sea" (Red Squirrel Press, 2012) |
| Tim Love | "Moving Parts", 2010 | "By all means" (Nine Arches Press, 2012) stories |
| Rob Mackenzie | "The Clown of Natural Sorrow", 2003 | "The Opposite of Cabbage" (Salt, 2009) "Fleck and the Bank" (Salt, 2012) (pamphlet) "The Good News" (Salt, 2013) |
| Richie McCaffery | "Spinning Plates", 2012 | "Ballast Flint", (Cromarty Arts Trust, 2013) "Cairn" (Nine Arches Press, 2014) |
| Gill McEvoy | "Uncertain Days", 2006 | "The Plucking Shed" (Cinnamon Press, 2010) "Rise" (Cinnamon Press, 2013) |
| Matt Merritt | "Making the Most of the Light", 2005 | "Troy Town" (Arrowhead Press, 2008) "Hydrodaktulopsychicharmonica" (Nine Arches Press, 2010) "The Elephant Tests" (Nine Arches Press, 2013) |
| Andrew Philip | "Tonguefire", 2005 | "The Ambulance Box" (Salt, 2009) "The North End of the Possible" (Salt, 2013) |
| Jon Stone | "Scarecrows", 2010 | "School of Forgery" (Salt, 2012) |
Conclusions? Well, unsurprisingly the young poets fare better, though Peter Daniels is no slouch. It's a shame that "Salt" is no longer an option.
