Used at least 2 of my poems to line their own pockets

I really feel what they are doing is very shady. Taking works from good unknown authors and publishing a compilation book full of other peoples work. The writer recieves no compensation for their input. Also they will have to pay for a copy of the book in order to see their work in print. Which they already saw when they submitted a typed copy of their work. This is so unfair the greed in this world just astounds me sometimes. But that is what happens to the little guy most of the time.

They stole my poem

Years ago i sent in a poem i wrote when i was a young teen. I did what they asked a typed copy and for it to be Noterized stating its MINE. Later i recieved a letter them wanting money to publish the poem in a book i didnt have the money. Then another letter saying they went out of business. I never saw my poem or heard from them again. Until yesterday when i searched for a cat poem and i saw mine with someone elses name on it. I still have my original copy and the date. What can i do about this? I think they sold my poem to someone and they put it her name on it. Because my poem was written in 76 and she died is 75. But i didnt send it in until the 80's.

Why do I need to pay for something I wrote?

I submitted a poem. Why do I have to pay for something I wrote? If I was selected as a winner, I never heard anything. Dina Krasny Angry Shrug

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I ordered this book for $58.95 and paid for it on6/10/2018. Many promises to send it to me have gone by the wayside. The poem was In memory of my only brother and it is a complete shame that E and W can't stand behind their promises to the patrons who act on their behalf. What a pathetic business they are running and the poor people like me believe what they sell us. I ONLY WANT THE BOOK I PAID FOR PLEASE.

One of my poems is being published, but after taking a look at the complaints, am I making a mistake with paying for a book or two?

No respond

Sent in a poem about my son , who just lost his dad - got the book but I also wanted the plaque for my son , sent in the money- never got it. They do not respond to my emails , letters or phone calls. If they were having delays that's fine , I could deal with that if they were to let me know that , but nothing ! I asked for a refund (ha ha) good luck-right. I have joined other poetry contests and I have received the book and plaque with no issues not this company. I wanted to do something special for my son losing his father . nice right. How dare this place do what they did to me and others. I hope to meet Tim in person!

I have a copy that they sent on the amount they received from me to buy the book..in 2011. They never sent the book. I never saw editors comments, or a letter saying that it was published. I want to my publish my orginal work elsewhere and have the legal right to do so.

Not receiving product paid for over a year ago.

My daughter was published in your book "Upon Arrival Interlude" I paid for the book but never received it. I called several times but nobody ever answered, I finally called from the computer and got ahold of Tim.

I have called and spoke to Tim two times, November 6th, I was told to call next week for a tracking number. I called again on November 13. I was told again to call next week for a tracking number again for my daughters book that was never sent. Then I was given a direct email , I have emailed tim 2 times.

I also tried to call again today but nobody answered. I still have not received any tracking number or conformation that it has been sent yet, and no response to my emails.

Update: November 20th, I was given a tracking number by Tim and told the book had been shipped. I have been checking the tracking number and as of today November 27th, the status says a tracking number was created, but USPS is still waiting for the product to ship. So nothing has been given to the post office to ship. I have been trying to call Tim at Eber And Wein for 2 days now, there is no answer. I have also sent an email, no response yet.

I have been dealing with this, sending emails and trying to contact anybody I can at Eber and Wein since July 19th, 2018.

This has been 4 months of me trying to get a product that was paid for.

I WANT TO THANK YOU, I JUST RECEIVED THE GOOD NEWS THAT MY POEM HAS ADVANCED TO THE FINAL ROUND

Guest

I did finally receive a book a few weeks after this post and several more phone calls. It took way to many phone calls and emails. But it is over.

Guest

I had the same problem and I emailed a generic email I received from Eber & Wein. I got some automated response about their team reviewing the matter.

I simply told them “ I paid for a books someone cashed my check and I’d like to have the books I ordered and payed for.” 3 or 4 weeks later a get one book in the mail. So there is a book and my poem was published in it with a number of other beautiful poems.

It’s a travesty that this is what we have to go through in order to get what we paid for. I hope this helps anyone who reads this review.
