• 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.

Weekly Writers’ Huddle – This Saturday, sharpen your craft with honest feedback and unwavering community support. Highly recommended to push your work to the next level. Definitely not to be missed. There's nothing else like it on the Internet.



Join our Weekly Writers’ Huddle this Saturday 21st March at 5.00pm UK (GMT). Hosted by literary agent and bestselling author, Peter Cox, it’s a friendly, practical space to bring your work in progress for discussion and honest feedback from the sharpest and most supportive literary group online.

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 Peter 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 work 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, please add your name below to reserve a place.

You'll then be included in the Private Group found in the Huddle Hangout. You will only have access to the event once you are included in the private group. The group will be created typically on the Wednesday or Thursday ahead of that week's event. On the day, join the Huddle using the Zoom link which will always be found in the 'sticky' at the top of the Huddle Hangout forum (link below). Then get ready to enjoy what's always a fun but informative session.

If you're reading this from outside of the Colony just follow the link and add your name.

Hoping to be able to come. So put me on the list, please?

Son's car has broken down lots now, and garage say it's not worth what it would cost to fix, which means they are car-hunting on Saturday and I am baby-sitting. They say it's just for the morning. But we'll see, lol.
