• 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…

The Bridport Prize, famous for 'discovering' Kate Atkinson, and which includes categories for poetry, short story, novel and flash fiction, closes 31 May. This year it includes a Never Too Late Award for writers of 60+ which, it says, 'unlocks the hidden talent of older writers'. It applies across all the entry categories.
Novels do not have to be finished at the start of the competition, with an initial entry of 5,000 to 8,000 words required, though those facing the final judging must be completed by then.
