Tim X Atack

I'm only intermittently on twitter -- but thanks to this place consistently and repeatedly enabling a whole bunch of clowns with knives, I'm migrating to @ timatack dot bsky dot social. Be seeing you.

NEWS: @Tanuja_A is the winner & recipient of the 2024 #RTST #SirPeterHallDirectorAward @RoyalTheatrical This year also saw two runners-up @Hannahlucystone @TeoZwf Congrats & well done to all this year’s applicants. Full 📰 bit.ly/4f1wswf @mercurytheatre @rosetheatre

✨The news is out! ✨ This beautiful piece of new writing will premiere in 2025 @BristolOldVic ! It means a lot to me to be making work with these incredible artists: Writer @TimAtack & Director @Tanuja_A and co-producing with Bristol Old Vic. Watch this space…

@quantick Sometimes I think about the three songs I left on MySpace and whether I'd now find them on LinkedIn, working in marketing.

Sooooo - I can finally reveal the cover for my debut non-fiction NEVERLAND, all about my MJ obsession and moral reckoning, out this September 12th with Canongate. Fuck me. Finally! It's been an arduous journey to this point, I'll be real, but dare I say I'm proud of this book.

This got its first table read at Bristol Old Vic the other day. Beautifully done by some excellent actors. Also very much admire the clarity of the table. (photo by @AmandaForceIt)

As if I'm going to divulge that information openly, to my countless enemies.

Friends... publishers... authors... Please let me know about your novellas / very short novels publishing in 2025. I want to put them on the radio. Thank you 🙏

@MattV07095826 Thank you! There's more on the way... (taps nose)

@TimAtack Honestly one of my favourite writers at Big Finish. The Wreck of the World, Planet of the End & Rewind are three fantastic stories, so I can't wait to see what you cook up in the future.

Just finished drafting my third play in six months. Because I never fucking learn.

@sega_saturn94 Brilliant to hear, ta. I tried to write 'em as if it might have been 2005 and the BF team did it proud. Reckon it's also Chris E just dropping into that part again like it was yesterday. So much energy, so much fun to write for.

@TimAtack Planet of the End and Salvation Nine in particular are my absolute favorites - great concepts executed to perfection. I remember listening to them and being able to visualize them in my mind, wishing they had been actual episodes on Eccleston’s series.

@sega_saturn94 Wow -- thank you! Agreed, it's properly great company to be in. Genuinely lovely folks at Big Finish, too.

@TimAtack Just wanted to say - you are by far my favorite Doctor Who audio writer (and there are a lot of great ones!). I truly love your work.

OK, time to update this...

Voted. It's an amazing thing to be in a marginal where there's a choice between two different kinds of hope. Never known it before.

Wonderful day @BristolOldVic yesterday, in the company of 15 playwrights at the #PlaywrightsFlashmob, talking about everything from marketing to emotional resilience to musicals. Much solidarity and hope – including a hope for more gatherings in future.
