Hi, all, Let's talk about transformation. One of Doctor Who's fundamental cornerstones relies on the concept. The main lead, due to illness, accident or even the demands of simple pragmatism can be spurred into a metamorphosis. Divergent Wordsmiths has been much the same. Over its five-year lifespan, our catalogue has expanded to include half-a-dozen Anthologies releases, two Novels releases featuring a revived Doctor/companion team not seen since 1987, and numerous uncollected materials grouped across the website. We've accomplished a lot. The time has come for another change. Following Doctor Who's 60th anniversary in 2023, A Sparkle of Doctors will be one of our last Anthologies for quite some time. This has not been for a lack of skilled, talented and eager contributors. On the contrary. We've found a consistent abundance of content creators willing to provide for new stories aboard the TARDIS. The dreaded problem, unfortunately, has been the rising cost of living. A pressure I'm sure many can empathise with. As Divergent Wordsmiths is volunteer-led and volunteer-run, it's become clear over 2022 that it's necessary to change our approach. Our mission statement at Divergent Wordsmiths has always been to provide our Doctor Who content for free. That remains our constant. We believe that, however the media landscape shifts, fans should be able to access something of the Doctor's adventures with no financial barrier. We will not alter that. To maintain that statement, however, we will be shifting towards the Novels range as our primary focus. Active since 2020, that currently features two releases starring the Sixth Doctor, Peri Brown and Frobisher:
It's far from being all over. Best wishes, Alan Camlann Publisher for Divergent Wordsmiths Comments are closed.
