Why should it cost a fortune (small or large) for a writing course or seminar? The great writers of previous decades honed their craft without paying extortionately. So can you.

We’re the real thing.  By far the oldest community for writers on the ‘net.  With a vibrant collegiate spirit. Mutual support is part of our ethos.  Join us and be part of something special.

As a Litopian, you’re part of the POP-UP SUBMISSIONS Genius Room. Your opinion – and your vote – decides the winner. You’ll see the publishing business with fresh eyes, we promise!

Litopia’s founder Peter Cox is a best-selling writer, with two books charting at the No. 1 position in the UK national bestseller lists. Now a working literary agent with publishing and media deals worth millions of dollars. He leads our weekly Huddles.  Not quite tame. Doesn’t bite.

Don’t run away with the idea that the Colony is only a sweatshop. It’s far more than that. Writers benefit from mixing with other writers. For fun, for socialising and for mutual support. We’ve gradually evolved into a genuinely caring community. Be part of it.

Workshop your writing without limits in – surprise! – the Colony’s Writing Workshops.  You choose who sees it.  You delete it when it’s done.

Join a Huddle every Saturday. Wherever you are in the World. Bring your ideas for titles, your blurbs, your first chapters-in-progress… or just bring yourself and a glass of wine. It’s informal, in confidence and insanely good fun!
