• 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.

Hello, I've just joined Litopia and am looking forward to meeting fellow-writers. I work in international education, but my true passion is, and always has been, writing. I have been agented before, but seem to be jinxed in that department ... my last literary agent had to close down his business about 18 months ago. So, there goes yet another unpublished novel of mine, waiting for a more fortuitous day - or another agent?

Would love to connect with other writers - so please, do connect!

Welcome Wendy Marla. As a newcomer here myself, I have been delighted to join this wonderful group of very bright and very talented writers. I too have had an agent, a very good one, who retired. Now I'm looking for another one to help me publish two nonfiction books and a novella. Let us know how it goes for you.
 
Will do. And you likewise! Nice to 'meet' you.

Hi Wendy. Welcome to the Colony and good luck with your search for a new agent too.

Hi, Wendy, welcome to the Colony. What do you write?
 
Many thanks for the welcome. :)
I write both literary and upper end commercial fiction. Almost all my novels involve a love story element, but with much more. My latest one - which I'm currently trying to find an agent for - was inspired by my trip to Rwanda in 2016. It's a kind of cross-over between Bridget Jones' Diary and A thousand Splendid Suns - a
mixed-race love story
What about you? I assume you're also a writer?

Hi Wendy – I've just joined too.

What work do you do in international education? I work at a British school in Spain. We have students from all over the world (although most are either Spanish or Russian...)

Here's to the int. ed. fellowship..!

Hello and welcome likewise! I used to teach English in our school (I'm one of the co-founders), but now am involved more in the behind-the-scenes administrative side of things.
