Quote by Kiera
Sounds fun...I used to work at The Science Museum.

Do you post it direct to them or on here?

Please advise?


I didn't really read it that carefully...whatever it tells you to do...you certainly wouldn't be posting it here though, of that much I am sure...

Read what it says, and if you still have trouble, let me know...thanks...

Btw...I just read it...it says to e-mail your submissions with your poems as an attachment...should be pretty simple...

This guy became a bestselling poet, thanks to the internet...kinda gives hope to the rest of us...
