Free poetry contests with published books and real awards!
We run poetry contests where the best poets get published. Our poetry competitions are judged by experts, award real prize money, and we pay our authors royalties. You also get the finished book delivered to you (everyone gets the book – regardless whether or not you are published). There is no obligation to buy anything after entering a contest! Here is how it works:
- 1. You submit your work to a contest
- 2. Our review board reviews the entries and judges select winners
- 3. Winners get prize money and the top writers get published in a book
- 4. Books are produced, and everyone who participated in the contest gets the book!
