poetry.com Review Summary
Our reviewers are disappointed in poetry.com. They say that the site takes their money to publish their poetry then sells an anthology to them which very few people buy except those published in it. They promise contests and awards but none of our reviewers ever won anything and the site spams their inboxes with offers to "help them become successful poets" - for a price of course. Our reviewers even go so far as to call poetry.com a scam site. Beware and do your homework before sending any money or poetry to this site. It's basically a "vanity publishing" site where you pay to see your work in print.

This website is probably the most well-known scam website. I mean, you could send in a blank page as your poem and a few weeks later you would get a letter in the mail saying you were chosen as a semi-finalist, and that your poem was being published in some book that you should buy for only $49.99 or something. The website lookes legit, but trust me, it's not. Poetry.com just exploits real talent. Do not use this website, it is a waste of time.
