Anyone had dealings with this site?
Anybody won any prizes in the competitions, or is it a better looking variation of we publish you purchase?

Paul -

Stay away from this bunch of jokers.

I've won every time I've entered a poem, including one I deliberately made up in 5 minutes, and believe me I am NO poet.

The books they "publish" are cruddy pieces of shite, and all it is really is an opportunity for them to nick around 250 odd quid off you, if you are "fortunate" enough to win, as they invite you to a seminar in California to present you with a trophy which they expect YOU to pay for. They build it up as though there is a big prize fund, but I hazard a guess there are not too many winners to share that particular prize, tho every one wins the big bronze medallion worth over 200 dollars.

Its a con, and despite what they may say, don't trust 'em.

I am writing from personal experience, and if any of these con merchants want to refute my claims, go for it, but I have the emails to prove it, I have the poems I wrote which they want to "publish", and the letter where they outline how it pains them to ask me to make a contribution towards the final book. So basically it is one of them you pay we publish things, and the books look like a 12 year old made them as a class project.

Wankers.

That's a negative, then.
Thanks for the quick response. I'll put them down as the U.S. equivalent of Poetry Now slash Arrival slash Anchor slash whatever incarnation they have this year.
