• 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.

Just joined Litopia. Short story writer from Britain living in Tokyo. Ended 2016 with a spate of rejections, but what the hell, another year!
 
Hi Ian. I'm a fledgling too, just joined earlier this week. Welcome! What are you hoping for here?

I think just to share experiences, writing markets, not feel like I am the only one struggling to get published.
