• 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.

Hi Everyone,

I have just registered. I am a beauty editor and mum - and totally new to this site and how it all works. So apologies if I get anything wrong. I have just completed my first manuscript, which is a psychological thriller. Any advice on the publication process would be greatly appreciated as I have sent it out to a few agents and so far, only received rejections.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
 
Hi Lee-Alison,

I'm new too. :) Also on the finishing touches of my story.
 
Hi Lee and welcome. I am fairly new too. I found it best to blunder around and get the feel of things. No one bites and there's lots of hidden gold around. It just takes a bit of digging to find it.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply and advice.
Okay will start digging!
Have a great day.
 
Hello, welcome. You'll enjoy it here, I promise.
 
Hi Lee-Alison, as @Steve C said above, blundering about and getting the feel of the place is a good place to start. Welcome to the Colony! :)
 
Howdy and a warm welcome to you Lee-Alison from all of us here at Litopia, the best place to beautify your writing :)
