I might be putting this in the wrong spot, but here goes.
I just got a letter in the mail that states that one of my poems is going to be put in an anthology of sorts. It's also up for a prize and if I want the book, I have to pay for it. Sounds like a scam to me. If your poem is picked to be in something, shouldn't they give it to you?
When your poem or story is going to be included in an anthology, usually part of the prize is one or several free copies of the anthology, since you're providing their content. Sounds unfair to expect you to pay for something you've contributed to.

Great post, Alan.
I read a few years back that you should use your real first name and choose a made up last name. That way when you're ridiculously famous you'll remember to turn around when someone calls your name.
My real name is Lisa but I use "Bradley" as my surname. Now I just need to work on that ridiculously famous part.

That was an interesting read. I'm sure if I read a new book written by one of my favourite authors I'd still know it was them even if their name wasn't on the cover. Even though their stories change, the style and voice remains the same. That's what keeps me going back for more.
