SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: MAIN RANGE & BRIEF ENCOUNTERS

NOW ACCEPTING STORY PROPOSALS

MAIN RANGE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The Doctor Who Project [TDWP] is accepting story proposals for consideration as part of a new season of short stories.

TDWP centers on the continuing adventures of the Eleventh Doctor and his current travelling companion Maggie Weitz. Stories are published as part of an overall season that concentrates on delivering a collection of short stories that sees the Doctor facing new and original situations in time and space.

TDWP stories are based on the original 1963-89 television series including original creations developed by our writers. Our stories are published as free downloadable PDF documents featuring a novel-like layout and specially created covers (designed by some of fandoms most talented artists).

We are accepting story ideas/proposals for consideration as part of a new season of stories.

We are looking for imaginative, original and entertaining stories that see the Doctor and his companions travel and experience the wonders of the universe.

To contribute** a story proposal to TDWP all you have to do is:

Submit 3-6 paragraphs outlining the basic plot of your story and the characters featured,
Provide your full name and email, and
Include a brief bio telling us a bit about yourself.

**If this is your first time submitting a proposal to TDWP, please also include 2-3 samples of your writing.

You do not have to know a thing about TDWP, its history, or have read any or all of its past stories.
It doesn’t matter. Ignore it all.

We are looking for well-written, original, Doctor Who adventures. Besides, a good story is a good story. It’s that simple. (Oh and don’t worry, we will make detailed biographies available to you on both characters, as well as photographic reference material to give you an idea what the characters look like.)

Story proposals and all requested material submitted as a MS Word or PDF document attached to the body of an email.
