• 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.

This month's Huddle South will take place on Wednesday May 14th at 8.00am UK time (BST = GMT +1). Please check 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 that you must be a Full Colony Member. So if that's you and 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)

The Huddle Hangout
 
I'll try and pop in. It's getting harder and harder to devote time to my own writing never alone another's (even though I need to for my mental health but the government doesn't care about that). My funding for carers keeps getting cut. I'm even paying for 2.5 hours a day of my own care just so I can drink and go to the toilet. The stress of organising everything in the small window of time carers are here is killing my ability to enjoy life, but I'll see if I have the mental strength to attend.
