• 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.

Help Please! Submissions

Hi Pete,

Thanks for replying. Yes, I have. There is a link for self-published, celebs and previously published but not for first time authors. I am a (free) member of Litopia but I can't find any link to the submission guidelines. Redhammer is on query tracker but the form doesn't open. I am fully open to the possibility that I am being dopey and have just missed it.
 
OK, good.
We've found that the success rate from first timers is so low that the best advice we can offer is to come to Litopia and develop your work here, particularly in the Lab.
After a few iterations there I'd be happy to take a look.
P.
