• 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.

This from Authors Publish:
Narrative Magazine, which has published many respected and established authors and already has a substantial general submission fee ($23), announced the finalists of their 2024 Fall Story contest. They hold a story contest three times a year, once for each season except for summer. Entry fees are $27, and the generally first prize winner is awarded $2,500, Second Prize is $1,000, Third Prize is $500. Instead because there were only finalists they were paid $100 each. You can see their full guidelines here. No one was refunded. Additionally Narrative used to offer one limited fee-free submission period a year that we used to list, but because their submission system was so hard to use, and most writers felt forced to pay in the end, we no longer list them. They are already promoting their winter prize. Becky Tuch also shared other details including how much the editors make, here:
