• 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.

I've finished the children's story, had the illustrations drawn, sent it to 7 agents and am following the process to have it published with Kindle. But it's such a long process that I have run out of steam.
 
Hi BarbF

Welcome to the Colony! Great to have you on board. Any questions about the site, please message me. I'm one of the Guardians and always happy to help.

Do check out the Colony Notices to familiarize yourself with how the site works – The Prime Directive is the foundation of our ethos. For literary chat and general socializing, Café Life is THE place to be. We also have a Flash Club to stretch your writing muscles, and a poetry area, plus much more.

So get stuck in. You'll see that the more you put in, the more you get out.
 
Hi @BarbF

A very warm welcome to Litopia.

This is a great place to start and help you navigate around the site. It should help you find some things you might like to get involved with.

Hope you enjoy your time here.

Hello and welcome, @BarbF! Congrats on finishing your children's story. Publishing traditionally or independently is a long haul – good luck with it all. I hope your steam replenishes soon :)

Do check out all the various areas in the Colony. There's a wealth of information here for every kind of writer, and a very friendly bunch of people ready to help if you have any questions.
