I click on poetry.com and it's completely different. I searched all my poerty that has copy rights they are missing. Also my profile. I do not have hard copies of some of them. I want my poems that I written back.
I was sent a letter about publishing my poem and getting a book too display, i sent the money and never received anything. I came across others with the same exact story except some received a book at least. We all got taken but i would have felt a little better if i had at least received something with my poem in it.
I also submitted a poem that I was quite proud of. I was told it was selected for publishing and as the previous author mentioned, my poem was printed on the first page of the copies I received. Unlike the previous author, I did not receive a plaque, and had to purchase my copies of the book. To this day, I have yet to receive any payment for my work.
I understand the company is now under new management, but that does nothing to rectify the wrong that was made. I'm sure the responses I would get at this point in time would be too bad, so sad, and you're in Canada so tough luck. Such a shame that a person can take something as beuatiful as poetry and destroy that beauty with their own greed.
Poetry.com stole my poem from their website and published it in coffee house books through out europe and the world without my permission and Im yet to see any monies Im totally devestated at how cold blooded and evil people are ,they tricked me into writing my poem(online) thinking I was entering a contest ,then when I went back to the site my whole account, poem my name and everything had vanished,then I started getting regular mail with these book offers stating they had published my poem in them ,one after another ,many ,many books,(livid is an understaement) They totally RIPPED ME OFF ,they are making monies off my poem without my permission ,where do I turn? and what can I do? I need a lawyer who specializes in copyright infringement so I can recieve the royalties that were STOLEN from me...................Someone please HELP ME!
Ely Howard was told not to publish my poem if he did not correct the spelling of my name. Did not let me know if I won the contest or who won the poetry contest.
