• 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…

    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.

Litopians! Rise up and congregate ... virtually. While winter is usually a slow time of year for conferences, two of the most popular conferences for aspiring authors are held in December: the CLMP Writers Conference and the New York Pitch Conference. Each of these conferences focuses on publishing. Most importantly they offer pitch sessions with agents. Making direct contact with an agent is the best way to engage their interest. A pitch session not only gives you the opportunity to present your book, briefly (you only have about five minutes), it also gives you the opportunity to present yourself. Make an impression!
