• 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…

    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.

YA is their Clock Tower Publishing imprint (award winning). They want marginalised and diverse voices.
Perhaps as they've posted this in Linked In and given a email address stating they're looking for new voices, as you're a new voice you can send a submission, stating that you've replying to Sanjee's 'Dear Santa' letter, which doesn't mention marginalised and diverse voices. As a sidebar, I read an article this morning saying Irish writers are having a moment in publishing, this might be your moment, go for it.

Dear Santa. Great idea! Yep, two Irish writers on the Booker list. I'm not Booker material, but it has swivelled the spotlight in the Irish direction.

The article talked about all kinds of Irish writers, calling it the 'Sally Rooney' effect, stating how many Irish writers have made it to book lists/awards in recent years. It's a selling point, or sit up and listen moment in a query, perhaps. You might not feel you're Booker material, but the tethering of Irish writers to awards/lists might perk the eyes/ears of a publisher, especially a new one looking to get noticed. Sanjee's history looks interesting, he doesn't seem to have a publishing background, but in retail. That, to me, is great, as it leaves behind the baggage of conventional publishing.

Tim you are not the sort of Anglo Saxon I can see being believable in drag. A bit too much swagger, methinks. Luckily you are talented enough that no added boost is necessary.
So wish I could find a rasta wig. I always saw myself as a rastafarian.... I needed the locks... #sigh
