Yesterday I submitted one of my new poems "Dreams" to as many poetry competitions as I could find and I am delighted to announced that today I received an e-mail from voicesnet.com stating that they would like to publish my poem in their VoicesNet Anthology that is published every 3 months.
Their e-mail stated that they receive more than 3,000 visitors per day to their website and their anthology is shipped to over 38 countries worldwide. They also stated that they receive thousands of poems each day for entry into their competition and only the finest are chosen for publication. I feel so honoured, still can't believe it, I only wrote the poem and sent it off.
I was asked for my permission to publish this poem which I have given and I am also eligible for Special Recognition as a top 3 poems. The prizes for this are $100 and a free book for 1st place, $50 and a free book for 2nd and $25 and a free book for 3rd. I really hope that I might be among the winners.
So anyway I have ordered a copy of the book which is due out in September of this year. I was also given a really good choice on ordering. You could have it as a hardback with an engraving, a hardback with no engraving, a paperback with an engraving or a paperback with no engraving. I also ordered a Publishing Certificate to hang on my wall at home just to remind me of my success. Probably a bit daft I know but I am really delighted at being published. My dream is now becoming reality.
Can't wait to receive my book.
Till next time,
Amanda.
