So happy to share that @dimitrafimi.bsky.social and I have submitted this project to the publisher.

I am very excited for the pieces in this volume to get into circulation because our authors worked diligently and put together some amazing chapters!

Submitted today! Following a few years of rigorous peer-review and working with my co-editor @lukebshelton.bsky.social and many Tolkienists!
- 44 chapters
- 46 Tolkien scholars globally
- over 280K words overall
Still tons of work to do as proofs arrive, but feels like a moment to celebrate. ☺️

Got myself a copy of the remastered deluxe edition of Lord of the Rings & currentlywatching. The backgrounds are much crisper and look fantastic in my opinion. And you also get a wee documentary about the man himself @ralphbakshi.bsky.social Brilliant #Tolkien #LOTR
