This gateway is maintained by Winning Writers, INC. It is well maintained and is updated on a timely basis. ( I did not find any outdated information or expired contest due dates.) This gateway provides links to "crowdfunding" sites. Crowdfunding is when authors pitch their work to an online community and the community selects a winning author and pays to publish the author's work. Also, if the user agrees to receive the FREE monthly E-Newsletter they are granted access to the award winning Poetry Contest Insider database. Please note that the site and newsletter do contain advertisements, but they are clearly marked. Also your email address is kept confidential, they do not sell or trade information with other parties.

Please note that the site also provides a link to subscribe to the Poets & Writers Magazine. There are very few adds and they are limited to the margins of the page.
