• 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.

**PLEASE NOTE: THIS CALL UP IS OUR OUR MONTHLY HUDDLE SOUTH**

Our first Huddle South of 2026 will take place on Wednesday January 7th at 8.00am UK time (UK now on GMT). Please check the time in your local time zone.

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.

Submitting Is not mandatory as you're more than welcome to just come along and participate in the general discussion.

The only stipulation is you must be a Full Colony Member. Please note also, this Huddle is open to all FULL Members. However, for looking at material, those in the South part of the globe will take priority. So if you'd like to attend, then please add your name below to reserve a place. You'll then be added to the Private Group (Huddle South) 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. 7.45 for a 8.00am start)
