Welcome To The Oldest & Best Colony For Writers On The Net.

Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

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 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 think it's great yu start something new, but dont toss that book that got full requests. Doesnt hurt to keep submitting. Your voice I think is absolutely there. We are all working on craft. Wouldn't it be great that when you do get thru to publisher and you're waiting for rewrites-none come back.I love Alyssa! It was her vlog on writing queries that made me get a few full requests.
