So about a week ago I sent some of my poems to a publisher that was accepting amateur writing and such, well I wouldn't call it that, neither did they, it's more of an "undiscovered authors" kind of thing.
Anyway, I got a positive answer from them saying they liked my dramatic, strong and touching and that they wanted 40-60 poems of mine, sadly I cannot afford to buy 200 samples of the book for 7€ each which results in a total of 1400€ so I will not be publishing or getting them edited, however I am very proud and glad to know that they considered my writing good enough to be in a book, an actual book that would be sold in Portugal and Brazil and that would be also sold in Spain, Ireland, England, U.S.A. and other non Portuguese speaking countries if they hit 3000 copies sold.
They would even get me a newspaper and television ad. I'm just so glad to know that despite not being able to afford the editing right now, as I am only 16 and still in highschool, that they think my work is worthy of being edited and published.
