Then came the hustle, for so much they would put my bio with my poem and for another so much I could buy a copy of the coffee table book. Somewhere out there, I imagine there is a book, sitting beautifully on someone's coffee table, with a little poem written by "unknown".Magdalen Islandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685952336207093650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574199981455106269.post-31363420870761611662008-01-28T00:37:00.000+00:002008-01-28T00:37:00.000+00:00last year I won $100 on the same site.

They try to market to my students each year and every year at least one of them enters, and sure enough they want them to purchase the $50 anthology. Scam artists!

I was "scammed" once, into purchasing a book full of poems, that had one of my poems also published in it, the damn book was $50, but I was to excited to think about the price, the book really wasn't worth it, considering it looked like it cost 5 bucks to make. You don't need to be claimed a winner or loser in your poetry, you decide what you are, and go from there. :)Kelly Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968396049579378856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574199981455106269.post-41186230630402874812008-01-26T03:30:00.000+00:002008-01-26T03:30:00.000+00:00Oh how interesting... they are selective, and reje...Oh how interesting... they are selective, and <I>rejected</I> your first submission, but then told you you could <I>purchase</I> your award for the second poem?
