I just wanted to say that when I was seventeen I submitted work to poetry.com but figured out it was a scam before attempting to pay for anything. My english professor informed me that e-publishers like poetry.com do what is called vanity publishing.

Its designed to snag anyone looking to see themselves in print. There are thousands of them out there preying on hapless artists like those on your site. For anyone truly serious about writing and publishing their works; the Writter's Market is your best bet for legitimate publishing.

Most credible publishing companies don't deal directly with the artist; they go through an agent. The Writer's Market will provide of list of agencies that may be interested in your works but you must be serious and have a business plan. Such is the case with all things where money and due credit are concerned.

The Writer's Market will tell you what to do but the effort is all you. Look at what your doing as not just an hobby but a time investment that you have given carefull and knowledgable consideration to. Also most famed writers started by submiting their works to legitemate litterary publications like magazines and news papers. To anyone who may be reading this and have been scammed stay encouraged.
