You will then see that they are a scam. They will soon send you a letter inrepparttar mail stating that your poem was great and that you were selected to receive a prize and want you to go to a convention in Washington.

They are not alone however. Most other “free” poetry contests are justrepparttar 128836 same. Poetry for America doesrepparttar 128837 exact same thing as well as Amateur Poets of America. All are scams and should be avoided.

The best way to avoid these schemes is by looking at fine print and also only submitting to places which charges to read your poem. These are generally more legit. If you think about it, where are these contests gettingrepparttar 128838 money from? Legit contests get money fromrepparttar 128839 people who submitrepparttar 128840 poems whilerepparttar 128841 scams receive money for telling allrepparttar 128842 authors that their work is great and they want them to pay $2 to have their poem inrepparttar 128843 book and tell them thatrepparttar 128844 book is on sale for a “low” price just for them!
