• 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.

The pop-up here is the name of the weekly submission and critique event. Every Sunday AgentPete--the head honcho for the community--hosts a live analysis on the first ten pages (or so) of emailed manuscripts that he receives during those prior weeks. The video is played out on the Facebook page--maybe other networks as well--where he puts his publishing agent experience to work, by giving those submitting authors and other writers, the benefit of his appraisal. It is a first-hand account of how he analyses those first pages of work, what appeals--and what doesn't, how an agent's mind thinks when going through a new manuscript, if the piece is worth continuing and what needs to be sharpened.

Alongside this, we have a separate chat-room on a discord program/app--name currently being decided--where even us, other writers give our take on the piece being looked over. Occasionally our comments and opinions are brought into the mix for a varied reaction, sometimes the submitting author can answer queries about their work and sometimes we all have a general little natter.

Happens on Sunday at 6 pm GMT I believe. A very lively affair too!
 
Join us tomorrow @6pm in the 'Discord' or 'Snake-Pit' Chatroom, LOL
Beware a very high chance of giggles though out and welcome to the Colony Tom :)
Where you can cater for all you're writing needs.
