The Divergent Wordsmiths are a small community of Doctor Who fans-turned-authors interested in exploring the myriad tales and wonders of the TARDIS's journeys through Space and Time. We began initially on the Divergent Universe forums, in August 2017, and since then have gone on to publish a multitude of media. Divergent and diverse. From newcomers to longtime professionals to newcomers turned professionals. From short stories to essays to even full novels.
