We'll be launching the book at the Portico Library on Wednesday 25 November and I will be signing copies at the Who Shop in London on Saturday 28 November.
Here is the cover of the exclusive hardback edition available from the Who Shop, with cover art by Andy Walker:
Blurb for Written by Terrance Dicks as follows:
“Through the ruin of a city stalked a little boy…”
Terrance Dicks was the bestselling author of 235 books for young readers, and is widely credited for teaching generations of children to read, instilling in them a life-long love of reading.
That would have been achievement enough, but he was also writer, storyliner, script editor and producer of some of the most popular TV shows — best known for his work on Doctor Who, but with credits ranging from The Avengers to Crossroads, and Space: 1999 to the BBC’s ‘Classic Serials’ of the 1980s, including Jane Eyre, Oliver Twist and Vanity Fair.
With access to Terrance’s treasure trove of papers, and new interviews with those who knew and worked with him, Written by Terrance Dicks is the authoritative biography of his life and work. This is Terrance’s own story.
Simon Guerrier has written countless Doctor Who books, comics and audio plays, including the new novelisation The Six Doctors, based on Terrance Dicks's draft script. He's also the author of Sherlock Holmes: The Great War and has produced a number of documentaries for BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4.
