The Truth About Shadows
LAST UPDATE: Wednesday 7th Febuary 2001
FIRST ENTRY
I am currently writing Poems which are intended to cover a dark and moody genre,
I would like to invite poets to send their material following this theme to be included in this book.
Poets may specify their intentions for their material.
At the end of the day poetry is for FUN and it's a good way to express yourself,
I charge NO FEE and I offer only the POSSIBILITY of publication.
This is mainly because I'm NOT a company I have no intention of bleeding money from you,
in fact I'm fed up with the way things revolve around money, so I'm trying to get back to the real artist.
PREVIOUS UPDATE
This section will continue to be updated with all the latest progress on the book and the site.
I would like to see as many poets as possible contribute towards this artistic opertunity.
Again I will say that I do not own or work for a money bleeding, soul sucking company.
As a poet myself, I hope to achieve a creative online community and a book, written by that community.
PREVIOUS UPDATE
I have been In touch with several publishing companys and the cheapest publication price is �100.
I will be continuing my investigation into cheap or free publication, still if �100 is the best I can find
then at least there is no obligation to contribute. It would only take 20 poets to reduce that cost to �5
each. I will try and provide the majority sum of money, as I said before I don't want to take your money, I want to help you get your poems published along with mine. I'm sure that someone must do publication on merit. and how can we get to the point of gaining royalties for our work?
Well I don't know yet but you can be sure I'm trying to find out!
For now you may like to post your Poems on this site it's free and I'm hot on the case of advertising this site. You can help advertise this site and your work by word of mouth in your part of the world, talk to other poets you know or post leaflets for this site.
PREVIOUS UPDATE
I Just had to pay $49.99 thats roughly �30 to get this site advertised on the net and added to search engines worldwide. I can hardly beleive I'm doing this for FREE, I must me completely Insane!
Please use my site so I havent just wasted a load of cash for nothing. Yes it really is still FREE.
I've also included a Hit counter so I'll be able to see if my money was worth it.
PREVIOUS UPDATE
There may have been a few problems with the pictures on my gallerys, I've changed the background on Matt's gallery, I hope this will reduce the loading time of the gallery. If you have any questions or comments about my site (difficulty with viewing the pages?), please send them to me so I can do something about it. I want to make sure my site can be viewed by all.
PREVIOUS UPDATE
Greetings once again, I'm still not sure if the graphics on the gallerys are working ok or not so please help me by sending your comments. I would like to anounce the addition of another poet; Robert Scruggs, he has yet to grace us with a profile, but I'll update the site as soon as he sends one in.
UPDATE IN PROGRESS
