Wanted: Guest Posts for Our Annual Tolkien Reading Event (March 2022)

During March 2022, Pages Unbound will be running our eighth Tolkien Reading Event. Every year on March 25, the Tolkien Society celebrates Tolkien Reading Day, and we like to expand on the event by hosting several days’ worth of Tolkien-related content. We have had some wonderful guest posts in the past and would like to invite you to submit a guest post this year.

Official Tolkien Society Theme: LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP

POST OPTIONS

The Tolkien Reading Event is open to a wide variety of posts. In previous events, we have featured everything from book reviews to quizzes to serious literary criticism. Pitch us an idea for any type of post you would like! You can also review books and movies that have been featured before; we love new perspectives! See a full list of past posts here.

If you need ideas, we are particularly open to posts about:

the official theme: to be announced by the Tolkien Society
any aspect of The Silmarillion
the art of Middle-Earth
a tour of your Tolkien collection (books or merchandise)
Tolkien’s villains
reviews of books about (not by) Tolkien
reflections on Tolkien’s “minor” works (Farmer Giles of Ham, Smith of Wooton Major, Roverandom)

DETAILS

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the Google form below. We will begin the event on Monday, March 21, and so would like to receive guest posts by March 14. We will contact everyone with final details around that time (such as what day your guest post will be scheduled). Please feel free to spread the word to fellow Tolkien fans!

Title: Please tell us what you would like the title of the post to be when you send us the draft! Otherwise, you will be subject to our whims. 😉

Post Length: There is no required post length; however long you feel you need to address the topic is fine.

Photos/Graphics: Feel free to include photos or graphics if you would like, but only include images you own the rights to post. (Basically, no copyright infringement, please!)

Poems: Excerpts of poems are fine, but please do not include entire poems still under copyright.
