I have a well-known poet as a mentor and she has warned me heavily about contests, while encouraging me to enter as well. On of the better ways to get contest information in my book is the CRWROPPS group moderated (the crud filtered out) by Allison Joseph. It is at: <BR/>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CRWROPPS-B<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>John<BR/><BR/>PS/That response from the press -- the way it sounded - the diction -- something off there.

If only I weren't already over-committed with online publishing... I sure hope you find a publisher out of all this, though I know that's not your aim.

What's funny about this is that I said the same thing to him, back when I was being "abusive." I actually told him that the press had a questionable reputation and that this was their chance to do right by their most recent author. That's when the hammer fell. Go figure.stacebrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08132621567274427152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816514191411810163.post-38527756551849476292008-08-25T22:58:00.000-05:002008-08-25T22:58:00.000-05:00You actually summed up everything I was thinking w...You actually summed up everything I was thinking while reading Robert Wynne's letter. It answered nothing and was a desperate attempt to save face. He acts as if what happened with your manuscript is one isolated incident, when it is widely known that CPR has history of questionable dealings with poets.Collin Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777180960376039699noreply@blogger.com
