Editors choice award Poetry.com SCAM ????? i dunno?

Question

i was really exited when i found out i was a semi finalist, then i thought it was too good to be true. My poem was good but i've read about the scams. Now their telling me that I've received the "editors choice award" some how i dont believe it. and some how i know you guys are probably gonna reassure me that im right... poetry.com just scammed me. its probably a good thing that i didnt buy a stupid CD or book. h**l i was about to ask my grandma to buy me one for my b-day

**** this sucks

Answer 1

There is a place called lulu.com...check it out. You can create a book and order one copy, if you want.

Answer 2

One poet sent them a load of unintelligible gibberish with no rhyme or reason to it and got exactly the same response. They are purely a vanity marketing machine making profits out of people who fall for sophisticated selling strategies. Don't worry, it does not mean your poetry is poor, it just means you haven't had it properly appraised. You will get an honest answer here and on several other sites.

Don't let one bunch of con artists put you off.

Answer 3

Yes. Thats  a scam,. Everyone gets selected there even if you send them your most useless poems. Its a BIG BIG SCAM. If you do a search on Yahoo! Answers on that , you will get many warnings. Beware. DOnt pay them anything!

yup, it is a scam. i actually purchased a book. i let one of my English teachers back in high school read it and she told me a lot of the poems were not that great. i wonder if that included mine lol.

indeed it sucks, but it does not mean your work does.

Answer 5

for the price of the book you could have a local printer print you up lots of copies in differant forms
