Hey Casey,

Welcome to the Colony! Glad you have found us. What do you write?

Any questions about the site, please message me. I'm one of the Guardians and always happy to help.

Do check out the Colony Notices to familiarize yourself with how the site works – The Prime Directive is the foundation of our ethos. For literary chat and general socializing, head over to Café Life.

So get stuck in. You'll see that the more you put in, the more you get out. You'll learn a lot here.

Great to have you on board.

Hi Casey,

Welcome to the Colony and hope you enjoy it here. I'm sure you'll find Litopia a very welcoming environment.

There's plenty to do and we have lots of people happy to give and receive advice on works in progress. You'll get the most from the Colony with a two-way exchange and you'll be pleasantly surprised how beneficial offering critiques on the works of others is for your own work.

Litopia is a friendly and supportive community and best thing to do is dive right in. You'll find a very helpful intro here How to guide which will point you in the right direction, and the Writing Workshops Directory WWD is a great place to road test your opening pages, chapters, blurbs & synopses etc.

If there's anything you're unsure about or need help with please drop me a message and I'll be happy to help.

Hi @Casey D. Rodmell ! Yes, you're doing it right so far

I’m currently rewriting (hugely expanding) the way we bring new members into the fold, i.e. the first few days of onboarding. So you might receive one or two strange /half finished messages, for which I apologise in advance

Everyone is very friendly here, if anything seems unclear (or downright incomprehensible!) just shout out, you won’t be short of help!

Welcome to the Colony! It's fine to lurk, though we're all friendly, so don't be shy about piping up.
