Hi, my name is Amanda and i was a regular visitor to a website called poetryamerica.com. One day i noticed a advertisement that read..." submit one of your original poems an win a chance to have it published!" so i did just that. I submitted a poem of mine.

In the details of the on-line submission form it said that i would recieve a letter shortly in the mail. About a month an a half later i recieved a letter from the League of American poets, saying that they wanted to publish my poem in a anthology called voices. A collection of short works. They needed my signature for authorization to publish it an proof that my poem was legit an all 100% mine. League of American poets also included a order form for me to order copies of the book that my poem was to be published in.

I ordered a case of 6, which costed me around $100. I sent the money back to the return address, back in late november-early december. I have family members who ordered and teachers from my high school who ordered. I also just recently tried contacting them on 2-17-08 at the number that came with the letter, but the number was diconected. I tried a few more times thinking that i dialed the number wrong, but everytime i called, it said the number was no longer in service or disconected.

One of my dreams, goals, was to have my poetry published an i actually thought that it was going to be published. Im 16 years old an my heart is broken and so is my dream of having my poetry published.
