• 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.

I'm virtually attending the 2025 SFF Worldcon this week/weekend and just sat in on a panel called "Where’s the Money in Indie Publishing?" Was FAB!

One of the panelists pointed us to a survey The Alliance of Independent Authors (UK) did that shows all kinds of interesting statistics (from 2023). The one I particularly loved to see was the genre breakdown of what's selling. "Romance, fantasy/scifi/speculative, and crime/thriller/detective were by far the most prevalent genres, representing a combined 57% of all respondents." Yay! :D

Full report attached for all those stats nerds out there. :nerd-face:
