I almost sent them the money too because i was so happy to find out that i was heard and that my poem was going to be published which I want to do. But them iI came across this site with loads of complaints about this company and then i do a little research and i found out that the company White Oak Press is actually a printing service and not a publishing company. So the people who are using the name White oak press under poetry of america is a fraud...If you need proff then go to their site site whiteoakpress.com and see that in bold red lettering that it says that they are not a publishing service but a printing service. These people need to be stopped because they are using an actual company name and they are tricking people out of their money!
