• 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
    • Don't take 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.

Hi all,
I have watched, enjoyed and learned from several months of Pop Up Submissions. There is a winner every week and I believe the writer who has the highest percentage vote over a month becomes the monthly winner. But what happens then? Is there another stage for these monthly winners?

Is there a semi final and/or final stage where the monthly winners are invited to come back to Pop Up Submissions maybe with a revised submission? Is an annual Litopian winner announced?

I would be grateful if a Litopian or Agent Pete could advise. @AgentPete
Thanks Paul (PC Frontier)

Make sure you put this in to get a response from pete @AgentPete . But I believe, and Pete can confim, that the monthly winner gets a referral to a publisher he works with.

What currently happens:

The monthly winner has a special page created for them thus:

The Outlier

This page is then forwarded to our admin contact at HoZ who then gives it to the most appropriate editor for consideration. As you’ll see, there’s a form for them to provide feedback or to request a full submission which is passed on to the author. All this can take quite a time, unfortunately.

At the moment, submissions are closed while we work on the backlog. When we reopen, there will be substantial format and procedural changes… working on those at the moment.

Thanks for the information Agent Pete. I'll keep watching.
