Answer 1

When in doubt, trust your instinct and leave.

Answer 2

Everybody who submits is a finalist. They make money selling you and your relatives copies of the "prize winning book" you are in. They are scam artists. You will probably find quite a few detailed answers about them if you search the question data base. People ask about them from time to time on here.

Answer 3

I did that too and submitted about 2 poems..they kept asking...saying I was a finalist and I never heard anything from them or seen that book...I wouldn't take another chance...they may be stealing your work.

Answer 4

Hey, put all your poetry in a folder or binder when you write.
I have SO MANY poems about God, but I don't know what to do with them.
I'm figuring I'll think of something,......

All somebody needs to do with your poem, is change one or two words and call it their own---turn it into a song, call it theirs and steal it from you.

These days, you don't know what to do.

Answer 5

I think it's original...my two poems --one won a bronze and other a special prize..Later on one of my relatives went there and saw them printd on the book..

Answer 6

they are one of the biggest scams ever. It is real but they send all this crap after you submit a poem. They also try to get you to buy stuff from them also.
