Silmarillion Writers' Guild

This coming Thursday, April 23, is the UN’s World Book Day. In honor of it, we’re hosting a casual gathering on our Discord server to share favorite passages from books by our favorite author, J.R.R. Tolkien!

We will be using a voice chat channel on our server to read our favorite passages together. (For those of you familiar with Discord, there is also a text channel for the event where you can volunteer to read since it can feel awkward sometimes to just jump into a voice channel.)

We’re going to have two readings: one in the evening European time, and one in the evening American time. If you know for certain that you’d like to read, and there is a time that works best for you, please comment here or email the SWG mods at [email protected]. I cannot make any guarantees but will certainly do my best to make sure as many people who want to read can participate as possible. Within the next couple of days, I will post the times for the readings.

Listeners are also welcome! I will post an invite to the readings on Thursday here and on our other spaces, so watch out for them and come join us, even if you’re not up to reading. If you’d like to join our Discord now, just email us for an invite.

Finally, although we are the Silmarillion Writers’ Guild, for this event, we welcome readings from all of Tolkien’s works, so LotR and Hobbit fans, come join us!
