Welcome to Ladder Writers – a creative writing website where by climbing the ladder you become eligible to become a paid critter or contest judge.

If you win contests you receive a cash prize of £50 (or the equivalent in your currency). If you're reading this then you've found the site in its brand new days, and if you enter the contest, it's the very first, so you have a very high chance of winning.

You begin here, at the bottom of the ladder.

The aim of the website is to climb up to the different levels of the ladder, which you can do when you have received a certain number of points.

To get things going, we have a contest with a prize of £50.

• Write a story of no more than 1500 words and send it in by 30th September 2009.
• It costs £2 to enter, (or the equivalent in your currency), which includes both the entry fee and a critique of your story. You receive 35 points just for entering, and between 50 – 200 points if you come in the top 5, as well as £50 for the winner.
