• 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'm an Anglophile screenwriter who is transfixed by English history. Would love to connect with other writers in this space as I negotiate my way through the agent-finding, screenplay-submitting process! I'f you'd like to see my Pitch Deck send me a message and I'll send it to you. The file is too big to attach here.
I've also done podcast writing and producing and would be happy to share my experiences with that genre.
Contact me anytime...
Rebecca
 
Hi @RebeccaRobinson

A warm welcome and hope you enjoy it here. Connecting with other writers is what Litopia's all about.

In the coming days you'll receive daily messages telling more about the Colony and its many forums, but for now just browse around and feel free to get involved.

Litopia is a friendly and supportive community and we have lots of people happy to give and receive advice on works in progress. You'll get the most from the Colony with a two-way exchange and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how beneficial offering critiques on the works of others is for your own work.

Here's a great place to start and help you find some of the things you might like to get involved with. How-to Guide

If there's anything you're unsure about please drop me a message and I'll be happy to help.

Thank you, Johnny, for your kind message. I look forward to interacting with other writers very much! Cheers, Rebecca
 
Hello and welcome! Podcast writing and producing sounds interesting! How did you come into that?
Hello Nmlee!
I'm happy to tell you all about this podcast adventure of mine. I got into it because I was shut out of the London Screenwriters Festival in April of 2020, and out of frustration, decided to adapt my screenplay to an audio format. It went very well - I hired actors from England and France and we recorded it this past summer and early fall. If you're really curious, you can have a listen at Political Thriller And Love Story | Piercing Time Podcast. I have 4 episodes out of 10 up - the process was quite crazy and difficult, but the actors were wonderful - they really gave their all to the story. So it was really out of necessity because of Covid, but I really like the medium of podcasting, now.
 
Hey Rebecca

Great to have someone with a film background here. (I am/was/getting-back-to-it actor, if you ever want to get together for something...)

Welcome to the Colony! Great to have you on board. Any questions about the site, please message me. I'm one of the Guardians and always happy to help.

Do check out the Colony Notices to familiarize yourself with how the site works – The Prime Directive is the foundation of our ethos. For literary chat and general socializing, Café Life is THE place to be. We also have a Flash Club to stretch your writing muscles, and a poetry area, plus much more.

So get stuck in. You'll see that the more you put in, the more you get out. You'll learn a lot here.
