Has anyone here had any experiences with poetry dot com or any other of there affiliated names?
They have rejected a poem of mine and after submitting another poem to them, they have since accepted it into their 'immortal verses' book to be published.
I have no intention of purchasing this book any more as i have researched and have read some terrible things about them.
Could anyone offer any advise on this site or share any other experiences with them.
Thanking you in advance.

Please visit our warning section.

http://www.todays-woman.net/poetry-scams.html

There are a list of complaints there that have been submitted by poets.



They operate under several names.................


National Library of Poetry
The International Library of Poetry
The International Society of Poets
The International Poetry Hall of Fame.


The Business Bureau of Greater Maryland classifies them as a vanity publisher.

Thanks rose.
It's pretty sad that they can take such advantages of so many people.
I'm yet to work out this site, quite new to the forum world so really just learning.

ooooh.... I so dislike poetry.com. It's just a scam to get you to buy their anthology of a thousand poems so that you can see your little 2"X4" poem "published".

Poets out there, stay away!!
