Basically, anyone who says they'll publish your writing, takes the rights, won't pay you for it, and makes you pay to get a copy, is scamming you.

lol i submitted my poems there and had them published but i didn't buy the book.
however, i did send them letters explaining that relatives of mine would buy the book so they had BETTER PUT ME IN THEM.
one of my sad friends didn't catch the scam, but bought the book. my poems were actually in them.
however, they didn't make any money off of putting mine in there.
haha i beat the system.

quoting one of stephen king's charecters, no one ever beats the system, but he is pretty cynical most of the time!! LOL

I beat the system.. I beat an old computer (complete with moniter, keyboard and mouse) to death beyond death (it had already broken). ;D
And how can they not make money off of the book... even when people bought it...

Fictionpress does rock. I'm called Nemonus on there--who're you guys? I mean a site that will help with real publishing, though, paying publishing, like perhaps a magazine.
