• 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.

Hello, Litopia! I'm so excited to join you here. I'm Hayley, and I'm a freelance editor, videomaker, and mom of 2. After editing loads of novels I decided to write one myself. I spent 1 year writing it and 4 years editing it, and now I'm a year into querying. Born and raised in Wisconsin, now settled in the Milwaukee area after 13 years in Seattle. Damn glad to meet you!

Welcome! Having the experience of being an editor must be a dream come true for a writer.

It's a bit of a mixed bag, actually! My sentence constructions are always tidy and grammatical, but each and every word is like pulling teeth. I have a hard time just letting go and getting the words on the page.
