Hello Nick:
Thanks for this information. I have also been involved with POETRY.COM & smelled something rotten when I got the information about the contest and they wanted $695US for the Conference and then it would cost me air fare & hotel (3 days) to attend. I called them and said I wold not be able to attend. I thought if they were an honest group, they would read poems for people like myself & others who could not attend. Instead I read where they wanted to charge to read your poetry. I knew then, they were all about the money and not the poetry.
I did receive a small EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD certificate for my poetry. Not sure if will buy the book (just to have) but will go no further with them.
Regards
Elaine
