Welcome home!

No more searching the internet.

No more being hussled into buying over-priced courses, seminars or editorial consultancies.

No more being treated like a punter.

This is Litopia. The net’s oldest and best colony for writers. Where writers come first. Where books – and careers – are launched.

Oldest writing community on the net - by far

Run by writers for writers

While others charge writers hundreds or even thousands of dollars for their “services”, Litopia is only $99 a year

A Genuine Community

We’re the oldest community for writers on the internet, bar none. While others pay lip service to the notion of "community" (looking at you, Mr. Zuckerberg!) we're the real thing. We have a vibrant collegiate spirit. Mutual support is part of our ethos.

Whether you’re actively developing a project – or going through a fallow period – Litopia is your new home.

Be Part of the Publishing Process

When you join Litopia, you become part of the POP-UP SUBMISSIONS Genius Room.

Your opinions – and your votes – decide which submission wins each show. The monthly winner then goes straight to one of the UK’s leading publishers for serious publishing consideration. It’s a new route into the publishing business that we’ve successfully pioneered… and you’re at the heart of it!

Literary Agent Inside

Litopia’s founder Peter Cox is a best-selling writer, with two books charting at the No. 1 position of the national bestseller lists. He’s also a working literary agent representing some of today’s most respected authors, having negotiated publishing and media contracts for his clients worth many millions of dollars.

A Place To Grow

Away from the workface, we have plenty of quiet corners for you. Such as The Back Room. A strictly confidential area for members' private thoughts: search engines rigorously excluded! Say what you want. Delete it when you’re done. Your words are your own property here.

Workshop Your Writing

So your work-in-progress is coming on nicely. That’s great! But what’s next?
You could pay an editor or writing coach for an opinion. Some of them are fantastic: many of them aren’t. And they may cost you a small fortune.
Alternatively, bring your work into our Writing Workshops where you’ll discover the power of the Litopia method of mutual critiques. Your writing will thank you for it: so will your wallet.

Have A Huddle

Litopia has pioneered the concept of the Literary Huddle.

Every Saturday for an hour or two, we meet virtually. Bring your ideas for book titles, your draft blurbs, your first chapters-in-progress… or simply just bring your good self and a glass of wine. It’s informal, in confidence and great fun. If you write – you should Huddle!

Keeping It Simple.

Our goal is exactly the same as yours. We want to see you published ever more successfully. And Litopia provides the tools to do that. It’s really that simple.
