• 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…

    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, I'm Rob. Just finished my MA in Creative Writing at the Manchester Writing School and currently sending first manuscript out to agents. I had a few flash fiction pieces published last year which was quite exciting, two of them for charity too so helping a good cause!

Also a fledgling artist in my spare time...

You could call it urban fantasy, Rob. That's still 'in.'

I write assorted non-fiction here and there, copy-writing, content writing; some Tarot/cartomancy related.
And fiction; verse, short and full length. Bits and bobs published but no full length published as yet. Contemporary ghost story. Grieving policeman is an awakening psychic medium.

True - although I read that urban fantasy was a sub-category of YA and I'm not sure mine's a bit too adult for that audience. Then again, what do I know, I'll see if an agent agrees! I did a mini-project with the Tarot not long ago - love them and find them fascinating
 
Hi Rob!
How did you find the MA? Would you recommend?

Hi John,

I loved it and it was the best thing I've done since moving to Manchester. Made some really good friends and learnt a lot from it. Would definitely recommend.
