Huh, I seem to have gone into involuntary end-of-year hibernation mode! However, I will re-emerge from my stasis for this Saturday’s Huddle, never fear...
Welcome To The Oldest & Best Colony For Writers On The Net.
-
Another software upgrade happening soon...
Litopia's software has just been upgraded. You may need to perform a hard refresh of your browser to ensure you're seeing the upgraded site, not a locally-cached copy of the old one. Performing a hard refresh is very simple – instructions for most browsers here.
Several exciting updates coming to the Colony in the next few days. Just to warn you… hopefully there will be no down-time, but ya never know!
Producing another live show in a few mins, if any Litopians want to pop over
Temperature is 40C (104F) at my desk now. I’ve printed a manuscript out, am retiring to the (cooler) bedroom to read it.
Priority Pop-Up Submissions are open again.
Currently working flat-out on the external Litopia site, pls bear with me if I’m not as available as I’d wish for a day or so...
FYI, publisher Bella Pearson will be on Sunday's show - join us!
