I hope that whomever reads this that they will not put any of their works out to anyone without investigating them first. The info is out there. It only takes a few moments to search it out. So for the safty of your work check it out,also mail your work to yourself & keep it sealed , this to is fro your safety.This is in case your work shows up with someone elses name, and you have to go to court to prove it's your"s.

]]> Sun, 11 Nov 2007 05:18:56 UTC 2568731 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2564508?utm_medium=rss It is a shame that companies such as this one exploit poets - especially teen-aged and senior-citizen poets. There are many reputable venues of publication. School magazines, local newspapers and church bulletins - all legitimate - are better credentials than poetry.com, International Library of Poetry, etc. Please take them out of business. They are as unethical as quack doctors who sell you snake oil as a cure-all.

Please if I'm one of the authors featured in this book why isnt it free for me? I'm fed up of SCAM ARTISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

]]> Thu, 12 Apr 2007 08:52:37 UTC 1561489 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/1560555?utm_medium=rss I too have been a semi finalist-twice with poetry.com (out $80) still receiving bill for $40 which states $80 is a non-refundable deposit! Beware-you will lose your money! I entered several poems of which one has came up missing. Picture.com is as bad. I am now receiving mail from: Noble House-London wanting me to enter for publication. Their cost-about the same. Other poetry has not been published with authors names or anthologies on separate page that you steeply pay for. Good luck!

]]> Tue, 27 Feb 2007 04:49:07 UTC 1394327 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/1379865?utm_medium=rss I have been scammed before. I hadn't submitted a poem for 2006 and I had been bestowed with a great honor for my poetry in 2006! Interesting, indeed. PLEASE get these sites off of the web so no one can get scammed.

]]> Wed, 21 Feb 2007 04:40:19 UTC 1379865 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/1367033?utm_medium=rss My advice to anyone thinking about going to the conventions "hosted" by poetry.com is to save your money you would have spent on air fare, hotel accomendations, etc. and use this money saved (if you wish) to find a publisher with a good reputation who will print you a book with just YOUR poems in them. Then you can give your very own poetry book with your name printed on the front cove rof this book and you can give them as gifts to family and friends.

]]> Thu, 15 Feb 2007 10:47:05 UTC 1367033 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/1294239?utm_medium=rss Poetry.com and others are poetry scams mainly put in place to scam people out-of-money. They are not truly placing value on poets work. They realize that we are anxious to have our work discovered and publicized, so they feed on our vulnerabiliness. They need to be stopped now. I know I am a writer and a poet and deserves recognition for my talent from a reputable and creditable organization. They have made enough money scamming people. Thanks for starting this petition. May God bless.

And they send me back an e-mail saying they want to publish my material, and then i find out it's just a scam, it's not a great feeling. I want an actual website that cares about getting me somewhere in my dream of being a published poet.

]]> Sun, 20 Aug 2006 11:06:59 UTC 1027350 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/1018481?utm_medium=rss I think that poetry scams online are an insult to the creativity and hearts of aspireing young poets who use these online poetry contensts to share their feelings with the world.
