About Our Company
Q: What is your company philosophy?
A: We believe that poets work better under a spirit of approval than criticism. To that end if we do not accept your poem you simply won't hear from us, and you are welcome to send a better or more acceptable poem. We do not send rejection slips. We hold to the idea that most submissions are genuine efforts and treat them as such. We believe that poetry is undervalued in our society and wish to help poets get the recognition they deserve for their contributions. Indeed, poetry is the Cinderella of the Arts; and ours is an everyday challenge to help her find her glass slipper.
Testimonials
Read what a few of our poets had to say about us here.
Q: How long has Famous Poets been around?
A: Going on fifteen (15) years now. We've held eleven (11) annual conventions. Our Fifteenth annual convention (to celebrate our 15th year) is coming up in September.
About Our Anthologies
Q: How many anthologies have you published?
A: We are working on our 15th right now.
Q: Can I purchase an anthology later in a store?
A: We do not market the anthologies but a store may order directly from us. We
recommend pre-publication ordering. We try to print enough based on pre-publication
orders to keep costs down so if you think you may want a book order early, even
a small downpayment will guarantee you a book. After publication we go through
any extras very quickly.
About Our Free Contest
Q: Do I need to purchase anything to remain eligible for the
contest?
A: No purchase is required. Your poem is in the running until contest end. If
you are a winner a winners notification will be mailed to you. A winners list
will be mailed to all entrants as soon as possible after the winners are notified and given their
cash prizes.
About Your Poems
Q: Who owns my poem now?
A: You do. You always retain full ownership (copyright ©) to the poem(s) that you
send us. You should always retain your copyright with any poetry (or other
writing) that you send to any company. If a company cannot - or will not - state
that you own it, don't send it...unless the company is willing to pay you for it and
you like the price! Go here
for more information on copyrighting your poetry via the US Copyright Office.
In closing, we look forward to having you in our family of famous poets and we
thank you for enriching the world we live in with your poetry.
