• 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.

Hi there,
I’m an aspiring freelance editor (working at a publishing house is my dream), who also writes creatively from time to time. Let me know what you’re working on. I’d love to give people quality (and, here, free) feedback on their poems, shorts, chapters, novellas, and novels!
Hope to hear back from you all.
 
Welcome aboard @EditingGuy :) What are you writing? I write YA fantasy. Cool aspiration, good luck with it :)
I’m currently writing poems and thinking of testing out a novella again. My last three novellas weren’t as great as I’d hoped but a much needed break might have helped me.
Ah here you are, welcome (again), hope you enjoy it here, and your skillset sounds v v attractive, lol.
Up for beta-reading in the near future?
Enjoy your time here.
Xx VH
Thanks! Yes I wanted to beta read straight away but some personal reading got in the way tonight. Maybe I’ll have a look tomorrow or even sooner if you guys have any chapters up.

Welcome to the Colony :) I'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback practice!!
Thanks! I hope so.

Welcome Ed Guy! I'm working on a gritty, LGBTQ+ crime thriller. Hope to have a few chapters ready to share soon.
