• 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.

Just showing you proof of work from the imminent “Synopses, Book Proposals + Sell Sheets” seminar. Yes, folks, it’s ever-so-nearly ready! This is a monster of a seminar, I’ve rarely produced anything so challenging. My aim is to deliver radical new understandings and galvanizing insights into these areas which are so often (and so wrongly) considered to be immutable. My most pressing objective, though, is to furnish you with a wealth of practical tools to give you a competitive edge. You’ll be able to judge if I’ve succeeded… soon!

I plan to start submitting my novel in early August. Should I hold fire?

Timings are a bit tricky, mostly because I’ve never attempted anything this long before. So I don’t know / can’t predict when the recording and editing will be done. I’d like to say “ten days” but that might be rash. However… publishing is traditionally quite quiet in August. I’d cautiously say, - yes, hold tight for another ten days or so. You shouldn’t lose any momentum if you do.
