Hi all,
Has anyone out there any info they can give me on this company- United Press. They have already decided to publish one of my poems and now they are sending me a special invite to publish another.
Is this too good to be true I wonder. They ask me to buy copies, which of course I do, but is this standard practice?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
All the best.
Debbie
I have to say that when they decided to publish my poem, they only asked for permission. They did not request that I buy any copies.
They also told me where the publication would be available to view. I have the letter somewhere, I'll have to look it out.
Thank you to all who responded.
Best Wishes
Debbie
i myself have been published many times by unitedpress and when i didnt want to buy the book i was in all i did was give permission so it could still go into the book at no cost to me plus i have had a short story published in a book called; a pocket full of short stories at a very good price by the short story society. so in my opinion they are not a scam.
They seem to be on the "to be avoided" list published by

So yes it looks like a scam.
And it is a long list.
