Wanna Be A Whotopia Contributor?

We’re looking for contributors who are interested in writing articles, reviews (merchandise/episode), columns, opinion pieces etc for the magazine; as well as artists who are able to design graphics, logo’s, banners, original art etc.

 

WHOTOPIA began publication in October 2003 and to date we have published 15 issues and 1 special.

 

Each issue delves into the past, present and future of Doctor Who – the world’s longest running science-fiction series – through articles, reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, columns, features, original fiction, comics and more.  Plus, in addition to covering Doctor Who, Whotopia covers the Doctor Who spin-off’s Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures.

 

Contributors will get a chance to have their work published and read by a readership in Canada, USA, Britain, Australia and Europe.  You’ll get to work with a team of editors who will offer you constructive and useful criticism – editors who want to help you perfect your craft. In addition, all contributors receive a free copy of the issue that contains their work. 

 

Contributors will also get a chance to participate in our online message forum where you’ll be able to freely discuss requirements for each upcoming issue.
