Here's something I wanted to spread the word about: a new collection of essays in honor of Verlyn Flieger's three-plus decades of Tolkien work.


Call for Papers

"A Wilderness of Dragons":Essays in Honor of Verlyn Flieger. . .
An call for papers centered on, but not limited to, her groundbreaking work on J. R. R. Tolkien
Other possible topics include • her work with fantasy and the Arthurian mythos • her engagement with other authors (fantasy and non-fantasy) • examinations or appreciations of her own fiction.

Verlyn Flieger is the author of Splintered Light, A Question of Time, Interrupted Music, and Green Suns and Faerie, and editor or co-editor of The Story of Kullervoand the extended editions of Smith of Wootton Major & Tolkien On Fairy-stories.

She has been asking interesting questions, and coming up with even more interesting answers,since her first book.
