• 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.

Book Club Programme & Dates for the Year

Litopia’s Book Club, run by @Jason, is an unmissable monthly event.

There are – happily – lots of book clubs around. But none like ours. Quite simply, it’s a club run by writers for writers – so the perspective is altogether different. We’re looking at the monthly choice with both readers’ and writers’ eyes.

But this is no tedious symposium… Yes, we’ll dismember some of the most successful writers’ prose. But that’s just the start. With the wit and wine flowing in abundance, Litopia’s Book Club will be the most fun you’ve ever had on Zoom. Indubitably.

This year‘s program will be a total blast – watch Jason introduce it here, and the programme is below.
