• 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.

Nice bit of news for me. I’ve been given a YA/ Children’s London Writers Award from Spread the Word (link is below). This means they will work with me over 9 months to get my YA Ancient China Fantasy novel ready for submission in May 2019, by running masterclasses, writers Labs, 1:1 sessions and feedback groups along with 29 other awardees.

London Writers Awards - Spread the Word

I’m honoured to be chosen and so ready to get my book written!

Any other Londoner’s interested? This is going to be an annual thing, so keep eye out for the 2019 intake.
