The author is the copyright holder. You can always give more 
non-exclusive licenses to the same content. All CC licenses are 
non-exclusive.

You can give a publisher who asks you, only the right to use 
commercially for their magazine, for example. You can do that as long as 
you don't give an exclusive license or equivalent (i.e. as long as you 
don't sign a contract to sell all your own rights to the content to a 
publisher).

I don't have links at hand, but you may want to look for the difference 
between non-exclusive and exclusive licenses.
