How we came to publish this one
We publish one of these annually. We use a variety of methods for picking out the best that’s been published each year. We try to get the best 3000 words or so for each month. This year we asked contributors to select one story for each month they were published.
The title
And so the title describes the collection – selected as described above.
Some notes about the process
Stories do get a copy edit before they go on to the site. We produce a camera ready copy and send it to all contributors to check. Once we’ve received their responses we correct the camera ready and then it is given a final proof read
The cover
We have a standard picture but just vary the colour year on year.
Some notes about style
Most of our stories are not typical of the sort of thing that you see in women’s magazines though there are a few of those nevertheless. We also have a variety of longer and shorter stories, and amusing, feel-good and darker ones.
Who we think the reader is
Our vision for CaféLit is that the reader enjoys the stories during their tea and coffee breaks.
What else
The CaféLit magazine and The Best of books are amongst our top earners.
