If I post my poems on here is that considered being published?
The word published can be defined in many forms: prepare and issue for public sale, print in a book or journal to make it generally known, or to formally announce or read.
Well consider to what extent does "being published" mean to you...
If it gives you joy or excitement as you see your poem appear on the internet for others to read, then one might argue, yes, based on modern interpretations of being "printed".
Thank you. I am new to this and I want to understand exactly what I am doing.
Arielle stated it very well. However, I'll mention that if you tell people you're a published author, they're automatically going to think you have a book they can buy. I'm not saying you can't call yourself a published author because you are. I'm just letting you know what other people will assume.
My idea as well. I thought to be considered published you have to have a book.
Technically you could say it, but as sheilamyers pointed out, there is a certain implication with saying you are published. Agents, publishers, employers, and readers are impressed if you are 'traditionally' published. Because there is a level of filtering, quality and achievement associated with such a feat. If you are 'self' published (which is what you're doing on HubPages) then there is really no prestige afforded by the word because 'anyone can do it'. Implying the former when you're really the latter might upset the wrong people.
I was asking only to figure out if I could enter this contest. They wont accept published authors.
Oh, in that case, they should accept your submission because you don't have a book.
Ah, in that case, you should be fine to enter. Just make sure you're not submitting a piece that was already posted here. Most contests require original work.

Why does it take so long for hub to post itself after being published?I published my hub almost an hour ago. At the top of the page of "latest hubs", it claims that the page is updated every half hour. I've been refreshing the page for well over an hour and the page has not been updated...

What is the difference between a hub being published and featured?My first hub was featured, now I submitted two more, and they are both published, pending being featured. I don't understand the difference between the two.

Hi, obviously I am nowhere near becoming published for anything, I lack the skills, content and direction. But I figured it might be worth getting a heads up. If anyone knows anything about publishing or has been published and has some advice, then it's much appreciated, as always

Why are my ezinearticles not being published?It has been a week since posting 3 articles to ezinearticles.com, and they have yet to pass the initial review. What can I do?

For my last few hubs I noticed that I was getting no comments and wondered what was going on so I contacted one of my followers who then told me that she had not received any notification that I had published any new hubs. Has this been happening to other hubbers.

I've edited it and edited it and still not approved for publishing. What's the problem? http://bizgrrl.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Buy-a-Kayak
