• 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.

I can't vouch for it. A friend just sent it to me.

Basic deets:

Eight categories of fiction and nonfiction

  • Immediate circulation to publishers, agents, editors, and other execs
  • Consideration from producers seeking projects for film and TV adaptation
  • Additional long-term review of other books for potential circulation
 
Just an FYI, on bookpipeline, I found this from Literative, and a similar piece in Writer's Digest:

Book Pipeline Review: Summary
Our final conclusion regarding Book Pipeline is that it is a helpful resource for writers, especially those that are looking to adopt their work for TV and film. However, just like any resource, if the writer does not utilize it to its fullest potential, it will not provide any aid.
 
I think Book Pipeline offers many services, as many of the competition hosts do. @MattScho, was this review about their services, or the competition itself?

Back when I was screenwriting, I found that competition wins were really a crap shoot on how much the organizers promoted you, or how much leg work they'd do for you. Some really helped, (the more reputable ones) and others were just good for a feather in the cap when promoting yourself. One particular comp win got me a lit manager, so was worth it. But I was happy to get out of the comp circuit after that.

I don't know the success rate from this comp, or how much leg work they do for the winners, as I'd never entered their screenwriting comp.
 
It looks like the cost of submission is either 60.00 US or 65 US? Thank you for posting. I suppose the cost goes w the prize money.
Both are USD's as it's a US company. There's an early entry fee, and a late fee. All the screenwriting comps are around that price as well.
