As a young mother. I write to release alot of pain, extending from my own childhood. When I entered the contest for International Society of Poets I never dreamed I would be so humiliated.
I thought I had finally been noticed, that I had talent. I purchased the book with my poem cost me $75 but the quality was horrible there are reprints of the same pages.
They couldn't do a whole book so they put a few pages in more than once I guess.
They also said I won awards, but I have never heard of having to pay $169 for someone to simply read a poem. Since when do people have to pay to be honored.
When a hero receives a purple heart are they required to carry the cost of the medal. Please surely there's a way to get these people to stop getting young writers hopes up.
