League Of American Poets Took our money and we didn't get the book we was trying to purchase. Baltimore Maryland
I recieved a letter in the mail on November 19, 2007, stating that the League of American Poets would like to publish my poem titled, "You Can't Take Away". They said that they had arranged a special pricing of $19.95 + shipping for this unique anthology and that each additional would be $14.95 + shipping. My mom wrote a check stating that we wanted a total of 3 copies ($62.85) and we sent it out on December 31, 2007, we have yet to receive any books or our money back. The check was cashed and the money was took out of my mothers checking account but know books were received. For a young writer this has been a very heart breaking experience I know now not to believe anything that comes along of this nature again.

This was a scam. If you were going to be published they would be either not asking for money or they would PAY you. This type of publication makes their money off of you. If you ever get your book it will be a cheap book that you could have put together. I have "won" awards and been asked to be published and I still get their emails and they continue going into my trash bucket too. I have never paid for my work to be published. Sorry, but you were taken big time. Try sending your work into magazines. You will get alot of rejection letters,but if you are good eventually some one will publish your work. It takes TIME, but much more rewarding in the long run. Sorry, we live and learn don't we? Cat
