• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

Hello Pamela,
Thank you for entering your novel Kansas Sundown.
We really enjoyed your work and * applause * it was selected to go forward to the second
round of The Bridport Prize
That puts you in the top 5% of novel entrants.
You might want to read that again...
Well done! It's an impressive final result in a competitive genre. Although your novel did not progress to the long list we hope this news makes you feel proud and newly motivated along your writing journey.

Thank you for entering. Please, keep writing. Good luck!
Kind regards,
Kate Wilson.
Programme Manager.
