Romanisches Café Berlin

This café is in many ways inspirational for the Creative Café Project. It was a meeting place for artists. I’ve featured it in the biography I’m writing of Clara Lehrs. She was a frequent visitor to this café and she was, by race at least if not by religion, Jewish. At the time she was visiting it in the 1920s it was a simple, plainly furnished place that offered an uncomplicated menu. It was below her normal level of elegance: she was at that time if not exactly wealthy a comfortably provided for widow.

CafeLit

CafeLit is doing well at the moment. We’re still getting the normal short stories but also a great line in 100-worders. We’ll soon be putting together the Best of CafeLit 2013 and we’re also planning a cute little square book of the 100-worders. So, some contributors might find their work published twice.

Royalties

We do pay royalties on our books but as they’re shared between several people they really don’t come to all that much per person. However, they do accumulate over the years – we only pay out once there is £10.00 – and if someone is published by the project several times, and they’ve got other small trickles of income, it all helps to keep the writer fed and housed. There is the option also of donating royalties to the project and several people do that.

Blue Sky

Nirvana. Paradise. The proof that the universe listens and we’re getting there.

Blue Sky anyway really epitomizes what the Creative Café Project is all about. It was actually created by a non-blood relation of mine and then sold on. Goodness, yes, a conversation as we were about to depart from a pub in west Wales after a weekend of floods and memorials, and the realisation that we had exactly the same vision.
