What is Cold Coffee?
Cold Coffee began as an attempt to offer writers a more interactive writing community. I was tired of bland post-and-read websites. CC was going to be warm, inviting and comfortable. I wanted it to feel more like a home than a website.
The name Cold Coffee was derived from good conversations, warm chats between good friends where the coffee goes cold before its ever finished. Communication was key to creating the environment I was looking for. Members had to be able to communicate in real time. CC members enjoy two chat rooms, one that is exclusive to CC members and another that is shared with other writer communities.
Aside from the warm colors and intimacy, members also enjoy the same aspects they liked in other writing communities. They can post work not only in blogs or on discussion boards but also in groups dedicated to specific types of writing.
CC is inviting not only to the up and coming writer but also the more polished one. Writers who have books and want a community that provides them with a place to display their art enjoy the Cold Coffee Bookstore - a free boutique where members can upload their book cover, blurbs and links to where their book can be purchased.
In an effort to offer the promising voices in the community a better opportunity to improve their craft, CC offers workshops hosted by seasoned writers who want to help. An exclusive Events feature allows these workshops and meet-ups to be announced and/or scheduled.
Of course if youre reading this, there is a good chance youre reading it in CCs exclusive voice, Cold Coffee Magazine. Members of the CC community take pride in knowing they have a publication that caters only to them. In each issue, CCM publishes the best of the best that the CC community has to offer in poetry, short stories, novel and articles for writers.
If youre looking for a warm, interactive writing community that offers the same amenities other websites do, then Cold Coffee might be your home away from home. The cost of membership is free; the friendships are priceless. Whats in your cup?
