• 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’m delighted to announce that our seminar WRITING KILLER BLURBShas been recut, condensed and augmented with downloadables and a useful self-administered quiz. All our new seminars will be issued in this format going forward, and all our existing seminars are being converted to it.

As with all our seminars, WRITING KILLER BLURBS is free to Full Members. If you’re not yet a Full Member – upgrade now!​

If you’re like most authors, you hate writing blurbs.

Days – even weeks – of intense brain work… only to produce a pitifully small number of words. It doesn’t feel like a great return on your investment of time and effort, does it?

But consider.

A good blurb will actively sell your book.

And a poor one will kill its prospects.

Stone dead.

So those few dozen words you're laboring over may actually be the most consequential you’ll ever write.

In less than ninety minutes WRITING KILLER BLURBS – the latest seminar from Litopia – will inform you, inspire you, and – perhaps for the first time ever – actually explain to you what a blurb is supposed to do. You'll learn everything you need to construct powerfully effective blurbs for today’s readers.
