SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN FOR THE WHAT THE FANS THINK SERIES

Unapolegetic and critical fan reviews and assessments

WHAT THE FANS THINK is Pencil Tip's series of books where the fans review and assess their favourite television series. Fan opinion can be extremely critical, often harsher than that of the meanest television critic. But when the fans love something, you know it. Praises are heaped in droves.

Each volume will concentrate on a specific show and will feature original reviews and analysis of every episode of that particular series. The fans will have their say on what they think are the best, worst and merely average, episodes of a series. You just might be surprised by what they have to say.

To date we have published three books in the series - Blake's 7, Torchwood & UFO, with further editions forthcoming. 

This is where you the fans come in. We want you to submit your personal reviews and essays for our next book in the series.

We are currently accepting submissions for: What The Fans Think: The Tomorrow People

To find out what are we looking for, and for further information, please visit the “What The Fans Think” section of the Pencil Tip Publishing blog here
