All About Independent Writing Groups

This is a demonstration of an independent writing group.

As the group administrator, you have total control over every aspects of the group’s functioning.

There is no charge to host your own independent writing group inside Litopia, although we do request that one member – preferably the group’s administrator – becomes a Full Member of Litopia.

Litopia is obsessive about writers’ privacy. Any work uploaded here remains the copyright of the author, and once material had been deleted, it’s gone for good (we obviously have a backup strategy, so it may take a few weeks for all copies of work to disappear from our server).

Each group must have at least one administrator who will grant or remove membership. They can also determine the group's visibility. The group can be set to one of four privacy levels:

• Public (Anyone may view the discussion list, and the discussion content)
• Closed (Anyone may view the discussion list, but only members of that group may view the discussion content)
• Private (Only group members may view the discussion list and discussion content)
• Hidden (Only group members may view the writing group or any of its content).

All the facilities you'll find in Litopia's wider community are available to all independent writing group members – including alerts, the direct messaging system, live chat, and more.
