Updated – Doctor Who Celebrate Regenerate Book
Doctor Who Celebrate Regenerate! – Updated
In order to aid the celebrations of Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary this year, quite an epic-sized group of fans have come together from all over the world to build Celebrate Regenerate, a fan-made (non-profit and unofficial) book, filled with reviews and articles covering every televised story.
At over 300 A4 pages, this doorstop of a book is packed with pieces from over 250+ fan writers, and we’ve even included some fanart too. To top it all, we’ve also bagged a few exclusive interviews with Series 1 director, Joe Ahearne; writer Tom MacRae, and writer Joseph Lidster which will be published alongside some other special features in the book.
The project, now a year in the making, is set to be released on 13th July this year, well in time for the anniversary. We aim to simply add to the growing list of contributions from other fans and writers, and our goal is now to reach out to as many fans as possible to share our finished project.
(Up until 8th July, they are offering everybody the chance to have their name listed in the book as a ‘Companion’ too, to make up for them not knowing about this and being able to submit.)
On Launch day (13th July), people will be able to order a physical copy from Lulu.com via www.celebrateregenerate.com, and an instant [free] PDF version will also be available for download.
Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Celebrate, Regenerate!
From www.celebrateregenerate.com
Celebrate, Regenerate is a fan-created non-profit book which will celebrate the last 50 years of Doctor Who!
Since July 2012, we’ve been accepting reviews and celebratory articles for every televised Who story. The response has been overwhelming and I’d like to thank everybody who has tweeted, contributed, written for us, and/or spread the word.
Over the next few months, I’ll be editing all the submissions and placing them into the Celebrate Regenerate book. At the moment, that’s basically all the information I can give.
*There are one or two tweaks to be made to the cover
Here’s a sneak peek at one of our Doctor ‘divider pages’ (artwork by the amazing Deborah Taylor)…

August 29th, 2012 - 12:17pmHi Lewis! I know a lot of people have been getting involved in this, and I was wondering, can I send in more than one submission, and if I do, will I have a better chance of appearing in the book? Thanks.
Lewis
August 29th, 2012 - 12:41pmYou can submit as many as you like, with a guarantee of at least one getting in 🙂
BOOBOO JR
August 29th, 2012 - 1:45pmThanks, to time to pick out some of my favourite episodes 😀
the astronaut of death
August 29th, 2012 - 12:10pmlewis
what do you do if the more thatn one reveiw of the same story has been sent in
do you choose the best one to going the book
or do yoy just choose the first one sent in
Lewis
August 29th, 2012 - 12:42pmHopefully we’d be able to fit both in. If not, we’ll take the best from one, and the best from the other, and make a ‘collaborative’ article, or have ‘mini articles’. If someone has submitted many times, though, we may just decide not to use a couple of them. Just depends how many we get sent in 🙂
Give me a Dalek any day
August 29th, 2012 - 8:52amCan you choose your favorite moments from the story and talk about those or does it have to be a full review? 🙂
Give me a Dalek any day
August 29th, 2012 - 10:57amNever mind! I read the description and it said you can analyse certain elements of the story 🙂 I’m thinking about doing one for The Eleventh Hour. 🙂
Lewis
August 29th, 2012 - 12:42pmIt’s very much up to you! 🙂
Give me a Dalek any day

the astronaut of death
August 28th, 2012 - 6:04pmlewis

the astronaut of death
August 28th, 2012 - 9:30pmand has a submistion for genesis of the daleks already been enetered
can you answer all my questions
Lewis
August 29th, 2012 - 12:01amIt’d help if you could run spell-check, but I’ll be sorting that out if you want some help 🙂 it’s the content, the writing, your thoughts what count! And yes, Genesis has been done, but you can still write for it.
Renegade Dalek
August 27th, 2012 - 6:17pmHey Lewis,
I got a few questions:
1) What would be the price of the book?
2) How many copies are going to be made?
Thanks 🙂
Lewis
August 29th, 2012 - 12:03amHey 🙂
It’ll be produced on an order-by-order basis. People will order one, and the site will make it. People can order two, and the site will make two. It should come to around £8, and it’ll be about 300 pages. But I’ll know more in a couple of months.
Renegade Dalek
August 29th, 2012 - 10:45amThanks
