I have been asked to do likewise!. Do not submit your poems to any company that you do not know a great deal about!.
I get the impression that there are unscrupulous publishers who may well use your poem then claim the rights to it!. In the case of Noble House they seem to want poems but then are prepared to sell you the book to which you have contributed!. If you think about it, how many people would buy a book (or two) just to see their name in print!? Now that is a ready made market without having to do any selling really!.
You need to be cautious about who gets their hands on any of your poems as you could lose any rights over the copyright which you may wish to own at a later date!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i have never heard of noble house, but my friend has gotten a poem published in a book before, they published it just like they said they would and put her name under the poem too, giving her credit!. I would say to write a contract or something along those lines so if they do claim it as their own you can file a lawsuit against them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I dont know about Noble house!. I was suppose to have a poem published by another poet site like poetry!.com!. I sent in the money and never got my book that I paid for!. After a long follow up they told me 3 to 6 months which has long passed with no book!. Be leary if you have to pay for a copy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd be careful, you might want to learn more about the company before submitting anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

write them a stupid poem and see if they want to publish that one too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
