Have aspirations of Starting Out as writer?  Want to hear the experiences of veterans and newly established authors?  Look no further.

Seizing the unique opportunity provided by the SFX Weekender this year, we collected an array of interviews from authors at various stages of their careers for your aural delectation.  We probe into achieving a publishable standard through proof-readers and tinkering, the benefits (and not) of Agents, and dealing with rejection; gleaning insights along the way on their writing and editorial processes and the mysterious mechanics of the publishing world.

Huge thanks to the contributing authors for their time and their trust.  If you have enjoyed their work, or if you would like to ask them any follow up questions having heard these interviews, please post messages at the following sites:

Authors by and large get very little direct feedback from their readers, so make their day and show them your love (and if you've enjoyed this episode of Scrolls, for goodness sake let them know that as well.  It will increase the likelihood of them letting the bald-nutter-with-the-tiny-microphone interview them again in future.)

We will be recording Part 2 in early March, with the Scrolls team discussing topics spinning off from these interviews.  If you have anything occur to you that you'd like us to specifically discuss please contact us in the usual manner tweeting @scrollscast, posting on the forums at www.gsforums.co.uk or e-mailing us atscrolls@hotmail.co.uk

Keep writing.  And, er, reading.

And listening to us.  Obviously...

Steve’s plans of releasing an episode a day for Gally 22 was sabotaged by a massive amount of alcohol.  Saturday morning starts off with the Tavern boys bright eyed and bushy tailed.  The next recording is on the subsequent day.  Hung-over and a lot worse for the wear they discuss their previous day adventures.

Arthurian legend invades our dimension but Scott and Matt are loving it in the Sylvester McCoy 4-part serial “Battlefield”. The Doctor and his companion Ace are pulled to modern day England just as Morgaine and her son Mordred arrive from an alternate dimension to unleash a powerful creature that will devour our world. Can the Doctor join forces with a retired Brigadier to stop their evil plot? Why do they believe the Doctor is actually the sorcerer Merlin? Has the Brigadier stayed as fancy as ever? Did the Doctor just use a Jedi mind trick? Find out in the newest episode of The Doctor’s Companion! And remember, BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!

Next Week: Paul McGann and “The Movie”!!

Chaos! No, really. Chaos. For the first time ever, Tony is persuaded to invite a couple of guests onto the show. And somehow (Not-A-Real) Professor Dave and Lillibet, his nurse, from Professor Dave's Ark In Space (it's a podcast, don't cha know?) turn up to review the Big Finish subscriber release, 'The Four Doctors' with Tony and Bob.

Oh, and there may be the finest wines known to man....
