Congratulations and well done Mr Jones!
Can I ask were you given a "shopping list" ie the companion, story details etc. if so are you able to share that list?
Or were you given free reign to do whatever you wanted? And if that was the case how did you decide what to write?

I was asked to pitch for Peri and the Fifth. I can probably say more once it's out.

Technically this is the second piece I've written for Big Finish (and no, I'm not Edward Collier). I actually wrote a Subscriber Short Trips (not yet scheduled) and it was from reading that Ian asked me to pitch a Peri / Fifth story. As many people have said (including John Dorney at length), Big Finish doesn't take unsolicited pitches. I was asked to pitch both times.
The subscriber pitch was a bit more free ranging as it won't be read be a companion so its possible to pick any combination of characters. I'll share more nearer release!

Sir, you are living the dream. Congratulations. There's a little bit of hard work in there - several years of blogging, getting to know people, reviewing, building a portfolio, listening to people... Oh, and some writing! I've had some other short stories published here and there including something called the New Accelerator, and I enter several calls for submissions (I am writing something not Big Finish for a collection later this year). And there's the day job!

Best of luck in your future endeavours and your own original work in particular!

I will probably flip it back once this becomes old news. Meanwhile I'm looking for more opportunities!
