Scam!!!
I submitted a poem to PoetryAmerica.com and was contacted a few weeks late by Greenspring Publishing. At that point in time I was uaware of this scam and gave permission to publish my peom. However, I did not purchase a copy of the book but from what I am hearing I should be worried about my poem. I take pride in my three previous publications with a different company and was proven that I can trust them as publishers. Greenspring publishing is not only a fraud but it is a disgrace to the poets that try to publish and those who do not. Poetry is not something that should be used in scams especially when those publishing are young poets.
my poem
I had 2 poems "published" by them. I was also supposed to receive a copy of the book. The poems that I had written were to appear in an anthology. I have been looking for that book for months now, just trying to see if i would be recognized for my work. The book never came out and my poems now can be copied and others can be credited for my work. It is unfair for scam artists to take what is not there's. My work means alot to me and so does my future as a poet. But because of this i will be more worried when it comes to me submitting a poem. I just wish and wonder if there is a company that will recongize me now..

Poetry Anthology Scam
I responded to an unsoliticted email from GREENSPING PUBLISHING requesting permission to include a poem I had written (for a different organization) in their upcoming anthology. I granted permission and ordered three copies of the anthology.
I submitted $39.50 for the books and received them about three months later. The quality of the "anthology" was disgusting and unprofessional. Excess dried glue was slathered between the back/ front paperback covers and the content pages. EVERY poem was CROOKED on the page. This project was an INSULT to publishers everywere and to the poets who submitted their efforts in good faith. I am certain you will NEVER see anything like this at Barnes & Nobles as GREENSPRING advertised.
I returned the books. However, I did not return them because of the pitiful quality; I returned the books because GREENSPRING DID NOT PUBLISH MY POEM! Not only did they take my money and omit my poem and my name, but they also ignored my request for a refund AND ignored the efforts of the BBB to recover my money.
PLEASE DO NOT BECOME ANOTHER VICTIM OF GREENSPRING PUBLISHING!

submission of a poem
I submitted a poem to PoetryAmerica.com on 2/19/09. On 5/19/09, I received a letter from Greenspring Publishing explaining to me that they wanted to publish the poem I submitted in a anthology series called "Whispers". I tried to contact Greenspring Publishing through the number they gave and the website. The website was not valid and no one called me back. I believe that my work could be exploited without my permission. I also think that the company is fake. Please let me know. Greenspring is saying that I need to send money to receive a copy of the collection. Please find out something for me.

I was approached by greenspring publishing twice asking to publish my poem, From Sorrow To Acceptance.I have given them permission through the mail and email, but haven't heard anything further.A number of people I know have told me that Greenspring Publishing is a scam!
Watch out for these guys If you submit anything for publication and they respond with (You can buy your personel copy of your soon to be published article, piece, or book ) RUN They are scammers looking to take your moola
One of my professors submitted my poem to Greenspring and I received the author's proof. The idea is for someone new to get published, it isn't about the money. My poem was published and I received a complete order of copies which I distributed to friends and family. It was a start, nothing more. The book is filled with new poets and I am grateful to have been considered in the top 2% of submissions.
A year later, and I have my own book of poetry being published, to be released on 10.8.10. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback.
Sincerely,

Same here. Greenspring e mailed me and asked if I would mind if they put my poem in the book "Whispers, a Collection of Short Works" and basically i called and left a message as to me loving for my poem to be in the book. I was so excited, then again I got no call back, no e mail, no anything. I think this publishing com. is a scam i do not care what any one else has to say. If a publisher reads this contact me hdmc1992@yahoo.com.
I also have published my poem in their book whispers...
I was contacted by Greenspring Publishing for permission to publish my poem in their anthology entitled "Voices". I gave my permission and I also paid them for a copy of the book which I never received. I sent them 2 emails which they never responded to. I filed a complaint through the Better Business Bureau and Greenspring did not respond to the Better Business Bureau complaint. I have recently filed a complaint through the Office of the Attorney General. All I want is my money back because I never received the book I paid for.
people have the right to complain. i have been searching and can't find my poem.. i don't know if maybe someone changed the name of it but i can't find it and it would suck if i end up finding it, but under someone else's name =(
people have a right to complain i dont can't even find my poem, the one that was supposed to b published n well i've tried looking for it but i can't find it at all ANYWHERE so its going to suck if i end up finding it under someone elses name =(
I just hate how people at this supposed publishing company can get away with what they are doing! The people who submit poems work hard to write their poetry...only to be scammed by Greenspring Publishing? Outrageous! I'm taking my poetry elsewhere! Goodbye Greensprng Publishing!
I purchased 3 books from Greenspring Publishing and they cashed my check and and never received the books. I called bank and they said I authorized check so nothing I can do. I have to go to Small Claims. I work for the State's Attorney's Office so I will let them know and go from there. I refused to be scammed! Tammy Elitzer, 13504 S. Laramie, Crestwood, IL
