Our weekly Huddle will take place on Saturday as usual at 5.00pm UK time (BST).
As ever, you are invited to submit your WiPs for discussion and feedback from Pete and the collective. But not only WiPs. Query letters, book proposals, synopses and blurbs are all welcome. Also, anything you've spotted in the press or online that's relevant to the industry. And of course Pete will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Ask him anything about publishing or the book world. He's a mine of information.
The only stipulation is that you must be a Full Colony Member. So if that's you and you'd like to attend, please add your name below to reserve a place. You'll then be included in the Private Group found in the Huddle Hangout. (Link below).
The Zoom link is in the first post of that group and gives you access to the event itself. After that, all you need do is come along on the day to join in the fun... and maybe pick up some great craft tips, too. (meeting opens approx. 4.30pm for a 5.00pm start)
We have a special addition to the agenda this time and here's @AgentPete to explain.

"We’re doing something a little bit different in this week’s Huddle (but aren’t all Huddles different?).
Litopian @Ed Simnett normally comes to Huddle South. At the last one, he spoke about his experiences using markdown, which many found informative and fascinating.
Markdown is the most basic sort of plain text editing you’ll find. It’s been around for decades. And today, an increasing number of writers are finding that it’s just their cup of tea.
Ed’s presentation in the last Huddle South was so interesting that I’ve invited him to repeat it in this Saturday’s Huddle. Because of time zone differences, we’ll need to kick off promptly at 5pm (which translates to some ghastly single digit time in Ed’s locality).
Several members have already asked if they can ask questions in advance – certainly! – please post them in the Huddle thread. Ed spent many years in tech, including several senior executive positions with Microsoft, launching several products for them.
Don’t miss this, you’ll find it quite eye-opening
