Well after much research, I have found out that I have been scammed..luckily not too much money was lost. I entered what I thought was a legitimate poetry contest.. I later found that the book I did receive will NEVER be sold in stores... I was told otherwise by the company. So STUPID ME I FELL FOR THE SHIT. If there are others out there trying to get published do not use poetry.com, poetsonly.com, famouspoets.com, and I believe poets.com. There are many more those are just the few that I found to be scams.. and I only used 2 of them and only paid money to one.. YAY ME! They charge outragous amounts for the books..which they say will be sold elsewhere for 60 or more and they charge you a "special price" of only 49.95 great! lol. I feel so stupid.. [link]
even the supposed "International Library of Poetry" is a scam... Damn they make it sound so real too...GRRRRRR
F*ck I feel like an idiot.
