• 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…

I came across this report on a new self-publishing platform:

How these Leeds businesswomen are booking the trend in online self-publishing

Dandylion Publishing appears to be more approachable than a lot of self-publishing venues. They offer editing services for one thing, and they appear to be fair on sharing profit from sales, offering a range of options on pricing.

My first reaction to their enterprise is that it could be a useful way of making some income, though with the caveat that their small size and personal approach might mean delays in having one's submission processed.

Another thing to consider is whether it's worth submitting a book that you might want to enter for a competition at a later date. Many contests require that an author's entry be unpublished in any form, as with the current Daily Mail/Penguin Random House competition for a first time novelist.
