    Where can I find the area to request help in funding my poem? I am new and entered in the contest but there is no option anywhere to request help like it said(5 entries will receive funding if they dont have the means. And yes I already became a member. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have clicked on every possible subject at the bottom n cant find anything. And tried contacting them.

    If a poem is submitted, is that considered published online and therefore would not be a candidate for most poem entries and calls for submissions with other sites and journals?

    Hi! I submitted a poem and paid the entry fee for the October 2023 contest. When will my poem show up on the site? So far, I’m still the only one who can see it. It’s titled “Never, Not Yet”. Thank you!

    As of August 11th the poem totals for almost all members on the 'meet the members page' has been off - by a lot in some cases. There is obviously a glitch of some kind on that page...

    I'm trying to update info and it doesn't appear to be working. I used a random photo for my bio, now I want to use one that is more appropriate. However, no matter what I do, the original photo still remains.

    I wish I could submit a picture to every poem as they always come paired.

    I'm trying to reply to a comment on my profile page, but my comment says it's pending for review and then the entire comment disappears. I used one swear word, thought that was the issue and changed it in another reply and the same thing happened. Now it won't let me post anything. I would very much like to post comments. I'm keeping the language clean!

    Does Poetry.com still hold the catalogues of 2001? If yes, how can I find the poem submitted in 2001.

    Real quick, something l've been wondering about that it seems may have been overlooked: once a poem has been submitted, if you edit the title or content in any way, it seems the site deletes the poem's genre selections and does not allow them to be restored or denoted again going forward—which is discouraging...
    Could there be a way to fix, or get around this circumstance?

    I don't see a "contact" button on for private messages, even when I'm on the homepage of the person who I'd like to contact.

    Can you advise me on sharing work that has been published in other ways or on other sites. I know certain writings have the potential to be punished on multiple platforms. How does that work here with previously published work or work that may be used on a different platform. I'd I share anything submitted, I would use this profile but what is the process or expectations of using this profile on other sites?

      Poetry.com doesn't require exclusiveness, you may publish your work here even if it was already published on other platforms -- looking forward to reading your stuff :-)

      How about excluding or deleting poems illicitly posted on some of the classic’s pages that clearly do not belong there and are garbaging things up?? I would be delighted if the instances in which I am referring could be removed or redirected from where they have been placed as veritable pranks --and l can direct you to a few, that I am aware of, if there is any doubting or suspicion to the contrary...
