Poetry Scams!
Yea, well nothing exciting has happened in my life lately. I went to Amber's birthday party and it was crazy cuz we were all like dancin forever and now my whole body's killin...And once again we didn't make it to church... I can't wait till I can get my own license and car I will be at Calvary every Sunday...Blah...Well my MSN Messenger is being gay so now I am downloading yahoo. I don't really know lots of people who use aol and I dont really like it so thats why Im not downloading that. I made a crappness new layout with Green Day, I don't really like it so it prolly wont last for more than a week. So like this coming weekend, I get my haircut and I am so excited cuz like I have wanted my haircut foreverzness ya and then we are gonna go look at jewelry and shoes for the wedding and then like next week Jeremy is coming over and I is so excited :D :D :D
And that's all I know, Steph still needs to call me whenever she is free so I can have her come over here sometime. Dude I just typed that whole last sentence without looking and without any typos. I think that is amazing cuZ i NEVER took keyboarding and just cuz I type so much I know where all the keys are...Craziness...Blah..
Well I got like three letters from publishing places that say they want to publish my poem but to my knowledge they are all fake. As a matter a fact here are some "free poetry publishing places" that are fake:
Poetry.com they have like a billion lawsuits filed for them, they are in some deep crap
voicesnet.com
americanpoetsociety
JMW Publishing
A piece of advice...Anyone who says "if you don't buy the anthology then we can't be sure your poem will be published forget it and any kind of fee they make you pay is ridiculous...Ok 5 dollars is alright but some places out there are like we have chosen to publish your poem!! Congradualtions, it has impressed me and my staff blablah... seriously these are the kinds of places you want to avoid because they are SCAMS. No real publisher is going to tell you that your poem is the best they have ever read. And think about it these places say you have been chosen to be published but you must buy this book for 50$. Basically it's like your paying 50$ to be published in some bootleg anthology that very few people are going to see. And that is if this place is even nice enough to send it out. Most SCAMS run in the poetry contest industry take the money and you never here a thing back from them. So before you go off sending your money to crazy places you've never heard anything about, type in their name and the word "scam" after it in a search engine and see what you pull up. Chances are if they are asking a lot of money from you they are fake.
