" I can't express my gratitude enough to you guys!! Almost all of my life I have been practicing my writing skills only to improve so that I could get something published. And all my work paid off!!! You wouldn't believe how I feel! At first my writing stunk, but then as I practiced more, I got better and better. And it's all thanks to contests like yours and pride in my work. When I first read the letter you guys sent me, I about cried. I was so happy and honored to be judged by actual writers and poets! It's not only an honor, but a pleasure. I have never won anything with my writing in my life. Yet, you guys really lifted my spirits! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! "
---- Rachel Marble - Student" I was so excited when my son received this letter. What an outrageous idea! He was so happy. What a great motivation for our kids. "
---- Maria Farrell - Parent" Thank you so much. It's been a great opportunity for my daughter and me. Your contest has encouraged her more to proceed in poetry. Thank-you for giving her the confidence! Your contests are great and I've recommended it to my friends and they've enjoyed them as well! It's been a pleasure doing business with you. "
---- Susan Rubito - Parent" After your Fall 2012 issue, I was so inspired afterwards when I learned my name was among the 45% invited! Nevertheless, I entered twice more in 2013 and both submissions succeeded into the semifinals! I am now proud to say that I enlist in not just poetry, but essay contests and upon rejection, I still strive to exceed my expectations because of Creative Communication. These competitions have definitely boosted my literature writing skills. Thank you so much! Sincerely, A motivated student "
