silwritersguild | "So You Want to Present at a Tolkien Conference? Writing the Proposal" Now Available!

Our first session on "So You Want to Present at a Tolkien Conference?" on writing the proposal happened today and went great!

You can now find the video, slideshow, handout, and sample proposal on the SWG site.

An issue that came up in Q&A, specific to Mereth Aderthad, was various options for people who are unable to present, either in-person or online. I cannot emphasize enough that we want sharing your work at this event to be something you can do if you want to do it! We will open to pre-recorded presentations or presentations read by someone other than the author. If presenting a work of meta at Mereth Aderthad is something you'd like to try but there is some kind of barrier to doing so, please reach out to us before assuming it's not possible. We are very willing to work with presenters!

Watch this space for a date for the next session and, very soon, the call for fanworks for Mereth Aderthad ...
