• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

The wonderful Lee Murray, our long-standing special guest panellist for Pop-Up Submissions (who gets up at 0400 to join us from New Zealand!) has been accorded NZ's highest literary accolade: The Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement in Fiction!
You can read all about it here.
As well as being a loyal supporter of Pop-Ups, Lee has always championed other writers, while winning multiple awards for her own titles.
Her website is well worth checking out, too.
Lee's a superstar — and has also indicated that she'd be happy to be involved in future Litopia activities, so hopefully we may get to see her again soon!
