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...

"Seven years ago, Mr. Gregson, 34, was scraping by as a freelance copywriter, churning out descriptions of exercise equipment, hair products and medical imaging devices. Now, thanks to his 560,000 and Tumblr followers, he has become the literary equivalent of a unicorn: a best-selling celebrity poet."
