Whatever You’re Writing...
Your Journey To Success
Starts With Litopia.
You’ve seen all the other websites that promise you’ll become a bestselling author… If only you’ll pay for their courses or editing services.
None of them are cheap. Some of them are extortionate.
Litopia isn’t like that.
Jane Austen never paid for a writing course. Dickens didn’t dole out for pricey seminars.
Here At Litopia
We Do Things
The Traditional Way.
Writers working with other writers.
Honing your craft. Developing your own unique voice. Solidly building your personal writing confidence.
It’s the proven way.
Battle-tested by generations of writers just like you.
And no hard sell.
Here’s How It Works
Develop Your Concept
You’ve got an idea for a book – excellent!
First use the Writing Lab to hone your concept to perfection. Then move on to the weekly Huddle for expert advice, mentoring and fine-tuning.
We’re with you every step of the way.
Writing – And Rewriting
First draft, second draft and beyond… Total support as you write and rewrite. The Litopia® Method is critiquing evolved.
No more hit-and-miss.
You won’t look back.

Delivering a killer manuscript is just the start. Titles, blurbs, synopses, cover letters to agents – we’re your backroom team.
Or maybe you’re considering the burgeoning area of self-publishing? We can guide you through that, too.

Agent Inside
With deals worth millions of dollars / pounds, literary agent Peter Cox knows the business as few others do. The author of several UK national No.1 bestsellers, Peter founded Litopia.
The Proven Way
You have a choice. Are you going to hone your craft the proven way as generations of writers before you have done – or will you fall for an expensive quick-fix? Don’t be taken in: writing success takes time, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something!
Yes, We’re Old!
With over two decades of experience, Litopia is the oldest writing colony on the net. We know what writers need at every stage of their development. You’re in good hands.
Writers Need Writers
Your personal writer’s journey is unique to you. But that doesn’t mean others can’t help you along the way. Writers flourish in the company of other writers: that’s how the art, craft and magic of writing have traditionally been transmitted. Your skills and confidence will naturally flourish here. Friendships are forged here. Writing partnerships too.
“I’ve Got This Idea…”
Writers often have great book ideas but don’t quite know how to develop them. We can guide you from lightbulb moment right through to your final manuscript. Developing a project’s commercial potential is one of the things we focus on during our weekly Huddles.
Future Proof
The publishing industry has changed more in the past few years than many believed possible. Where is it headed, and where do the opportunities lie? Our members will be the first to know.
Privacy Built In
When you show your work-in-progress for a critique or quick reaction, you don’t want the entire internet to see it, do you? Litopia has the best author-privacy settings of any writing website, period. You decide who sees your work – and when you delete it, it’s gone for good.
