Doctor Who Fan? Want To Write? Join The Kasterborous Team!

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Every now and again at Kasterborous we decide it’s time to look for new contributors. Now is one of those times, following the graduation of several regulars to other exciting projects (something we’ll be telling you more about in the very near future).

In case you were unaware, this website has a great track record in finding and fostering writing and artistic talent. Past contributors have gone on to work on Doctor Who DVD cover art, working as storyboard artists and even published in sci-fi magazines. Kasterborous appears on the CVs and online resumes of several people connected to the site, with good reason too, we believe.

Would you like to join the team? We have several openings for contributors at Kasterborous:

Classic Series Reviewers

This year we’re planning on continuing (and hopefully concluding!) our Doctor Who @ 50 Series. As such we’re looking for writers who can bring the same level of passion and detail to the series as those that have gone before. See An Unearthly Child/100,000 BC and Marco Polo for an idea of the tone and detail we’re looking for here.

Book Reviewers

We can’t move for books. Hopefully, you can’t too (although you should have enough movement in your upper body to type. Reviews of Doctor Who books, from TARGET reissues (or even originals!) to the latest from BBC Books are high on our list of things we’d like to see on Kasterborous this year. If you have the book already, share your love. If it’s a new title and sent to Kasterborous Towers from the publisher, we’ll forward it on to you to review. Fiction or non-fiction, if it’s a book with a Doctor Who connection, we want to read your thoughts on it.

Audio Adventure Reviewers

 

We already have a strong team of Big Finish reviewers, but as the library of ranges increases, so does our reviewers’ workload.

Would you like to get the chance to enjoy Big Finish audios and review them? If you successfully join our team, you can!

News Team

During 2014 we lost several members of the news team due to internal changes at the site and new circumstances for the members. Most have moved on to occasional news posts or semi-regular long-form contributions.

Obviously there is no payment for writing on Kasterborous. What there is, however, is the opportunity to have your work viewed by a huge audience of Doctor Who fans, as well as various freebies (books, DVDs, comics, etc.) that come our way. Oh and the chance to be part of a special Facebook group where authors can chuck ideas around and discuss topics, a useful way of fleshing things out.

To join the Kasterborous contributors, send an email to christian@kasterborous.com specifying in the subject line which team you would like to join, and include a relevant sample of your writing.

Also, if you’ve got an idea for an article, or something that you planned for a different project that you think would be suitable, let us know via the same address – we’re open to any pitches!
