@susiecampbell.bsky.socialReposted by @guildmedmak.bsky.socialI'm so looking forward to being part of this conversation. If you're in or around Oxford later this month, do come along and join in too!
@nikgunn.bsky.socialReposted by @guildmedmak.bsky.socialVery excited (and a little nervous) to be speaking at this event, where I'll be talking about how creative writing has been an outlet for my medieval interests since leaving academia. I'll be thinking through the sort of intellectual space that opens up when writing fiction set in the Viking Age.
@eleanormaybaker.bsky.socialReposted by @guildmedmak.bsky.socialWell...the 'wulf' is out of the bag. Professor Daniel Wakelin and I were the Middle English consultants for Robert Eggers' upcoming film Werwulf, in UK theatres on January 1st 2027!
