Vanity of Vanities (Ecclesiastes)
I am sure Poetry. Com is very good as a Vanity Publisher. It is always good to see ones efforts online and the community has benefits for interactions. Although I do write some poetry my main area of creativity is in Songwriting so I decided to step out from the Poetry.Com mailing list.I sent an e mail requesting unsubscribe and the response redirected me to a contacts page where my unsubscribe message was greeted with a $1 charge. Naturally I didn't put my bank details in on principle and my opinion changed as to what this company was about. Money grabbing vanity publisher. I was brought up in a creative environment and learned that if something is worth publishing the publisher pays the writer not the other way round. Vanity Publishing can boost your ego and meet like minded people but not for me. I will have to block them to avoid further e mails
