• 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.

Weekly Writers’ Huddle – This Saturday, sharpen your craft with honest feedback and unwavering community support at the Huddle. Highly recommended to push your work to the nest level. Definitely not to be missed. There's nothing else on the Internet quite like it.



Join Litopia’s Weekly Writers’ Huddle this Saturday 21 February at 5.00pm UK (GMT). It’s a friendly, practical space to bring your work-in-progress for discussion and honest feedback from Pete and the collective.

But not only WiPs. Query letters, book proposals, synopses and blurbs are all welcome. Also, anything you've spotted in the press or online that's relevant to the industry.

And of course Pete will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Ask him anything about publishing or the book world. He's a mine of information.

Submitting work is not mandatory as you're more than welcome to just come along and participate in the general discussion.

The only stipulation is that you must be a Full Colony Member. So if that's you and you'd like to attend, please add your name below to reserve a place.

You'll then be included in the Private Group found in the Huddle Hangout. You will only have access to the event once you are included in the private group. The group will be created typically on the Wednesday or Thursday ahead of that week's event. On the day, join the Huddle using the Zoom link which will always be found in the 'sticky' at the top of the Huddle Hangout forum (link below). Then get ready to enjoy what's always a fun but informative session.

If you're reading this from outside of the Colony just follow the link and add your name.
