Can you clarify what you mean by “cafe life.” (In general or in regards to your Bo’s Cafe Life?)

  Great question! By “cafe life” I mean writing in cafes/coffeehouses, coffeehouse culture, interacting with baristas, coffeehouse drinks, etc.! And, please feel free to bring your own personal meaning to “cafe life.”

Would you prefer us to follow a specific submission guideline? Font? Spacing?

  Nope! Just paste your story into your email with the subject “Story Contest.” Other than keeping it under 1,000 words and making sure that your story is inspired by cafe life, we are not very picky!

So, how did the contest go? If a winner was announced, I missed it. (Didn’t have an entry, just curious,)
