One Writer's Nightmare

DateTuesday, August 26, 2008 at 09:46PM

If you are a poet who is actively submitting manuscripts to contests and/or open reading periods, take a few minutes and check out this very scary story about the actions of an (allegedly) unethical press and a debacle of a contest.  I can definitely empathize with this writer's cautionary tale.  It could almost make someone paranoid to send out their manuscript, if it wasn't for the urge to find success and to share an artistic vision with the world.  An interesting read.
