Accentuate the Positive

Instead of putting together a website that supposedly outs all the "unscrupulous" contests, judges and editors, why hasn't somebody put together a site that offer real tips poets can use to their publishing advantage?

For instance:

Editor X is susceptible to flattery regarding his scholarly work on the Byzantine avant-garde.

Judge Y has a nickel slot addiction. She doesn't get paid until the first of the month, late-month loans and bus tickets to Atlantic City would be received with appreciation and discretion.

Editor Z has a weakness for 30-something female poets and knee socks.


They could call it Whoretry or Hoetry.
