An Example Writing Group

This is a demonstration of an an independent writing group, hosted within the aegis of Litopia but fully independent and autonomous.

Litopia is obsessive about writers’ privacy, with good reason. Any work uploaded here remains the copyright of the author, and once material had been deleted, it’s gone for good (we obviously have a backup strategy, so may take a few weeks for all copies of work to disappear from our server).

Each group must have at least one supervisor who will decide on group rules and will grant or remove membership. They will also set group visibility, e.g. private / public / indexed or not by search engines, etc.

There can be unlimited sections in the writing group, and within each section, unlimited forums. In practice, most groups will only need a small number of forums.

All Litopia’s facilities are available to all independent writing group members, including alerts, the direct messaging system, live chat, and more.
