• 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.

Join our Southern Writers’ Huddle this Wednesday June 3rd at 8.00am UK (BST).

Hosted by top literary agent and bestselling author, Peter Cox. aka @AgentPete

It’s a friendly, practical space to bring your work in progress to get readers' honest first impressions and feedback in real time from the sharpest and most supportive literary group online. An experience which is invaluable and unique for you as a writer. Something that's extremely hard to come by anywhere else and all included at no additional cost as part of your Litopia membership.

But not only WiPs. Query letters, book proposals, synopses and blurbs are all welcome. Also, anything you've spotted in the press or online that's relevant to the industry.

And of course Peter will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Ask him anything about publishing or the book world. He's a mine of information.

Submitting work is not mandatory as you're more than welcome to just come along and participate in the general discussion.

The only stipulation is that you must be a Full Colony Member. So if that's you and you'd like to attend, please add your name below to reserve a place.

You'll then be included in a Private Group found in the Huddle Hangout. You will only have access to the event once you are included in the private group. This will be created typically on the Thursday ahead of that week's event. On the day, join the Huddle using the Zoom link which will always be found in the 'sticky' at the top of the Huddle Hangout forum (link below). Then get ready to enjoy what's always a fun but informative session.
