Almost all the guests that have come to the Peterborough SF Club over the years have been authors. Some of those have also edited collections of short stories and these have included Ramsey Campbell, Stephen Jones (Fantasy Tales and the Pan and later Gollancz Books of Horror), Kim Newman, Nicholas Royle (Darklands), and Brian Stableford (collections for local publisher 'Dedalus'). Other guests to have been brought to the City have at times worked in publishing. These have included Jo Fletcher, Oliver Johnson, Eric Lane (publisher of local company 'Dedalus'), Charlie Rigby, Johnathan Wylie and Art Young (an editor for Vertigo comics). Offering slightly different views of writing were translater Terry Hale and biographer Fred Clarke. Since the late eighties the Club has occasionaly bought its members books. Sometimes they were volumes that the members might have been interested in such as the 'Bluffers Guide to Computers', Christopher Winn's 'Legal Daisy Spacing' and M.H. Zool's 'Good Reading Guide to SF and Fantasy'. At other times they've been books by forthcoming guests to let people have a taste of the writers work. These started with Josephine Saxton's 'Queen of the States' to most recently Simon Ings' 'Hot Head'. To assist and encourage local authors the Peterborough SF Writers Circle was founded in 1994. In 1995 they released their first slim collection of short stories, 'Shadows on a Broken Wall'. Some of the Circles' members have made professional sales.
