I was excited about the fact that I may win. People say it's a scam but I don't think so. I think people only say it's a scam because they didn't win.
I submitted a couple of things about 17 years ago with the intention of entering a "contest." I was too young at the time to realize that they wouldn't let me delete my material if I chose to. Now I'm an adult and have severe regrets about giving them my stuff. They don't reply to emails, or questions from their "contact us" tab, they won't let people remove their names or poems from their site and you can't even delete or unsubscribe your account. There's even a "delete" and "edit" option on the bottom of each piece of poetry that you write, but it does nothing. It's wrong and it doesn't seem like anyone over the years has had any success fighting this injustice.
"Poetry Nation / Eber & Wein Publishing" are another poetry website to stay clear of. Based in the united states. For 2 years I've been trying to delete my account but there is no way to. I decided to delete my account after they put my poetry in print more than once without my permission. Then I started noticing complaints against them accross the web. There is even a website dedicated to filing complaints specifically against Poetry Nation/Eber & Wein Publishing. I've tried to be civil with these people but they are refusing to respond. I have contacted Poetry Nation/Eber & Wein on 3 separate occasions to delete my account, but they are not responding to me for some reason? I also found some dirt on this website. They are stealing poetry works & money from people. It's in the link below. Alot of pissed off people being stolen from by poetry nation/Eber & Wein Publishing. Not to mention accross the internet. Including facebook. On facebook there is a page dedicated to filing complaints against them. Thats how bad it's getting. I have renamed my poetry nation page to "Let me go Poetry Nation".
