• 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…

Avoid, avoid, avoid.
Part of the "AuthorSolutions" brand.

I say to PRH, S&S and all the others named, "Sold your soul to the Devil? Shame on you, Company, shame on you."
Yeah, I initially put it down to a very poor understanding (on the publishers’ behalf) of what exactly AuthorHouse was (is!) and how it scammed folk on the big wide internet. But PRH would have done their due diligence before laying out that kind of cash. So they didn’t just buy AH because AH high-pressure-sold them into it, which is apparently their business MO.

Now sold to Najafi Companies, a private equity firm.
