After a year off, the pubcon is back – VWORP 5 is Writercon, a Doctor Who event this Sunday, March 24th!
Taking place in the welcoming warmth of Manchester’s Lass O’Gowrie public house, Writercon brings some of the best Doctor Who writers from across the classic series and Nu Who, delivered in a relaxed, cosy atmosphere. Don’t expect to turn up and queue for autographs at £20 a shot – instead, prepare some questions and expect to learn something new!
With Q&As, clips, workshops and other surprises, tickets are a snip at £19.00 a head and will be available shortly from www.wegottickets.com.
Confirmed guests thus far are Terrance Dicks (former script editor, responsible for many classics including The Horror of Fang Rock), Keith Temple (Planet of the Ood), Philip Martin (Vengeance on Varos), Andrew Smith (Full Circle, pictured above) and illustrator Adrian Salmon, with more in the pipeline.
Additional guests are entirely possible, and Kasterborous honcho Christian Cawley will be in attendance on the day, chatting with Andrew Smith.
More info on the Lass can be found at www.thelass.co.uk.
I really wish I could go to this. I want to be a television/screenwriter someday, and something like this could be beneficial. I would like to write for Doctor Who and my own shows. Doctor Who mihht take awhile to achieve though.
