• 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…

    • Don't give offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

ABOUT THE PRIZE:
The aim of the Desperate Literature Short Fiction Prize is both to celebrate the best of new short fiction and to give winners the most visibility possible for their writing. That’s why we’ve teamed up with fourteen different literary and artistic institutions to not only offer cash prizes and writing retreats but also to ensure that all our shortlisters have the opportunity to be published in multiple print and online journals, have their work put in front of literary agents, and present their stories in multiple countries.

NEW THIS YEAR:
WE LAUNCH OUR
IN-HOUSE RESIDENCY* & ONE SHORTLISTER IS INVITED TO
THE EUROPEAN WRITERS SALON


The Desperate Literature Short Fiction Prize adheres to CLMP’s Contest Code of Ethics
*you can learn about our move to new, larger premises and the process of being evicted from our old location here.
