CALLING ALL WRITERS: WE NEED YOU FOR OUTSIDE IN!

Posted on

Our OUTSIDE IN range editor, Stacey Smith?, has a message for you:

Calling all aspiring and experienced writers! Have you ever wanted to write a review of a Classic Doctor Who episode that’s as gonzo as possible? Well, now’s your chance!

E-mail Stacey Smith? with a pitch for one of the available slots for OUTSIDE IN REGENERATES, which will revisit the entire classic era of Doctor Who from 1963 to 1996 that was originally covered in our first OUTSIDE IN ten years ago. You can find the list of available slots and detailed guidelines for submissions at this link.

One of the goals of the OUTSIDE IN series is to give a voice to those who have never yet been published, so if you haven’t done this before, that’s OK. We’re open to pitches from the experienced writer to the first-timer. Just bring your passion for Doctor Who, and your big ideas, and send Stacey a one-paragraph pitch for how you’d like to approach your episode/story and what you want to say about it. You can pitch for several open slots if you’d like; the best one will be chosen.

Upcoming volumes of OUTSIDE IN will cover modern Doctor Who from the end of the Peter Capaldi era (after “Last Christmas”) through the 60th anniversary in 2023, as well as the full runs of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Babylon 5. If you’re interested in participating in any of those volumes, you can contact Stacey directly to inquire about openings in those collections as well.

 

 

ORIGINAL OUTSIDE IN NOW OUT OF PRINT: OUTSIDE IN REGENERATES WILL CELEBRATE 10 YEARS OF OUTSIDE IN

Posted on

It’s official: After nearly 10 years, the original OUTSIDE IN volume–ATB Publishing’s inaugural publication–has gone out of print.

In November 2012, ATB released the first volume of the OUTSIDE IN series, featuring 160 writers sharing 160 new perspectives on all 160 classic Doctor Who stories. Since then, the series has continued to explore our favorite fictional worlds with an ever-growing, eclectic mix of diverse and inclusive voices offering their own unique takes on everything from Modern Doctor Who and Star Trek (Original and Next Generation) to the Buffy and X-Files universes. Future volumes will visit the space stations Babylon 5 and Deep Space Nine, as well as examine the twisted mysteries of Twin Peaks and the futuristic intrigue of Blake’s 7.

The legacy of the original OUTSIDE IN will also continue in the form of a celebratory volume first announced back in February 2020 and scheduled for OUTSIDE IN’s 10th anniversary in November 2022, going back to the very beginning with a collection that will bring the same distinctive approach to critical commentary on pop culture that has evolved in more recent volumes of the series, refreshing the original release with all-new essays and voices that will once again tackle all of classic Doctor Who.

OUTSIDE IN REGENERATES: 160 New New Perspectives on 160 Classic Doctor Who Stories by 160 Writers will be a celebration of both the television series and the book series inspired by it, with 160 completely different and even more varied essays on every adventure, each written by a different writer than the one that tackled that story in the original volume.

Thank you to all of our dedicated readers for making OUTSIDE IN such a success, and supporting ATB Publishing for nearly a full decade of books about your favorite fictional worlds!
