Scammers poetry. The wolves in sheep's clothing!
Poetry Contest false tricks authors of the 10 million euros a year. It is the bait price a lot of money and the chance of being published, which convinces many people to give their money honestly.
There are many legitimate competition, but hidden among them are sponsors who only care about making money quickly. They care little about writing or writers.
Exist solely for profit through his own writing or poetry contests. Often find these "free" poetry competition announced in the local newspaper. Before considering the free admission on a line of literary competence or in writing, do yourself a favor. Ask these unscrupulous people and study their performance for that could prevent one of their next victims.
Potential victims are sent complimentary letters, saying they are great poets and the panel of judges "or" reduce the committee believes presentation is useful to publish.
Scammers may even say they were nominated for "Poet of the Year."
They try to appear legitimate, citing reliable sources and previous "winners" of their international competitions.
P. How do I know if a poetry contest is really a scam?
A. A poetry contest is a scam if you buy one or more copies of the book to be published.
Here is a decrease in the signs that you may be someone else for his poetry scam perspective.
Everybody wins!
The scams often have a large number of winners. They make money by publishing books of poetry are purchased almost exclusively by the "winners." In other words, they will publish because they expect to buy copies of the book. These books contain hundreds of poems in them. In this way you can support as many people as possible. Besides the book, which can offer to publish their poems on a plate, an audio CD or even a web site … for a price, of course.
Offers great prices!
Unfortunately, competition with abnormally high prices are probably not true. If you can earn thousands of dollars or more, you probably spend more money you get.
Reading and Admission
many competitions to earn money by charging to introduce or refresh to read their poems. Danger Will Robinson! These contests are, you must have carefully at the entrance. Competitions that require registration fees are or-money or royalty financing in prices and pocketing the difference. Anyway, this is not a good deal for you. legitimate poetry contests usually have a very low cost and free. If you enter a contest with a prize, remember you pay in competition with other poets.
Travel
While it is flattering to be asked to read his poetry at a gathering of fellow poets, be careful Whether you choose a contest as a "winner" and then try to sell you a trip to a meeting of poets and writers. If it will cost hundreds of dollars in his pocket, and those who receive money, then you're probably getting ripped off.
Classes
One of the scams of all time favorite is you can select for special poetry writing classes. Scammers tells her poem is very good, but you can benefit from the experience carried out by one of their teachers. There is nothing wrong to take poetry class to improve their skills, but it is misleading, for classes disguised as a legitimate poetry contest.
For beginners and those who try to make a living writing, poetry scams are a disappointment to say the least. Do not let thieves poetry squash their dreams.
