• 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.

If any of you live within reach of Edinburgh, Scotland, check out Edinburgh's Cymera Festival, 6th and 7th June, for Sci Fi, Fantasy and Horror. There's a Pitch Perfect event on the Sunday morning (submit your pitch to apply) - pitch panel = Kate Coe of Rebellion publishing, Lee Harris Senior Editor Tor.com publishing, John Jarrold literary agent. There are free (yes! I said free) workshops by David Bishop, Director Edinburgh Napier University Creative writing course, on both days (but book your place). There will be an open mic event (not yet advertised) and plenty of author events. Check out their website or on twitter. Tickets for events go on sale March 16th.
If any one is going, let me know. We could pal up. :)
