• 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.

Hello everyone. I've written a children's novel and am currently in the editing stage.
We all know that the first page/chapter is vital to grabbing publishers/agents' attention.
So I wondered if anyone would be interested in reading my first chapter and giving me some feedback...?

It's a story for 8-12 year-olds and the first chapter is only about 600 words.

Cheers

Dan
