Young Writers Society

I got an invitation recently to a poetry convention in Nevada, I was wondering if anyone had been to any poetry conventions and if it is worth the cost of going??!!

Thanks

Hmm...

I'd want to look into it a bit more for myself, specifically. A [younger] friend of mine was sent something saying they won a poetry contest and it was very much a scam.

You'll want to check the legitimacy of it.

Ya, Claudette is right. I did work experience in Poetry Ireland two years ago and they told me about these poetry scams, where, like Claudette says, you're told you've won something. Apparently, they're not uncommon, so I'd do some research.You should always be wary if people are trying to charge you for this kind of thing. Sometimes it's just a couple quid for lunch or whatever, but after that you'd need to have your wits about ya.
