• 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,
Sorry it has taken me a while to get around to saying hello. I am coming to the end of an MA in Creative Writing, and am now trying to put into practice what I have learned! I am looking forward to getting to know like-minded writers / aspiring authors
 
Hello from the border of the North West and the North East! What are you into writing (and reading)?
Hello Josephine,
I am still experimenting with genres at the moment in terms of writing. Before I started the MA I dabbled with fantasy and romance, but over the last year (with assignments) I have tried more short-stories and literary fiction. Thrillers are my go-to books in terms of reading, but I also enjoy fantasy and the occasional romance. What genres do you read / write in?

Hi Wendy, and welcome – good to see you here. Well done on completing your MA. Check out the Workshops if you'd like some feedback on your work. And don't be shy about offering your own critiques of others' work. As many members will testify, we learn a lot from critiquing others' work, too.

You can always submit the first 700 words of your own work to Pop-Ups if you'd like some advice on the beginning. That's on YouTube, every Sunday evenings (6pm UK time). You'd pay a lot of money for the editorial advice our guests give for free – and it's great fun.

I'm one of the guardians on Litopia. If you have any questions, please get in touch. I look forward to seeing you around the Colony! :)
 
Hi Wendy,

Welcome to Litopia. It's very friendly round here - so do get involved as soon as you're ready to.

This is a good place to check out (How-to guide) to see a lot of what goes on in the colony.

If anything is unclear do please contact me and I’ll be happy to assist if I can.

@Wendy
