Winning Writers

Winning Writers is a highly regarded digital resource hub and contest sponsor founded in 2001 by Jendi Reiter and Adam Cohen. Based in Western Massachusetts, the organization is dedicated to discovering and promoting quality resources for poets and writers, consistently earning a spot on Writer’s Digest’s “101 Best Websites for Writers.” They are best known for sponsoring several prestigious annual competitions, including the Wergle Flomp Humor Poetry Contest (which remains free to enter), the North Street Book Prize for self-published authors, and the Tom Howard/John H. Reid contests for fiction, essays, and poetry. Beyond their own awards, Winning Writers provides a curated database of the best free literary contests, “scam-busting” guides to help authors avoid predatory agencies, and a wealth of hand-picked tools and archives designed to support writers of all backgrounds and skill levels.
