If you have been contacted by someone saying they'd like to publish you through a company called Xlibris. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!! It's basically a scam. If you have the money to pay them they will publish you but the cost of your work in the stores will be so high you wouldn't even buy it yourself.

Hi,



Your poem “Suicide” posted in your DeviantArt page was really deep. How you express yourself through your poetry shows your depth and real talent. How would you like to publish a compilation of your poems in book form?



Sincerely
