TOLKIEN MOOT XVI FEATURED PANELISTS
John Garth
John Garth is the British author of the scholarly works Tolkien and the Great War, Tolkien at Exeter College, and most recently The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien: The Places that Inspired Middle-earth. John was given the Mythopoeic Award for Scholarship 2004 and the Tolkien Society’s Outstanding Contribution Award 2017. He is also a freelance writer, journalist, researcher, and lectures on Tolkien at Signum University and in Oxford University’s summer school program.
Dr. David Russell Mosley
Dr. David Russell Mosley is a theologian, Roman Catholic, poet, writer and speaker, living in Spokane. David has published two books, On the Edges of Elfland: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups––his first novel––and Being Deified: Poetry and Fantasy on the Path to God. David's online written works can be found on Letters from the Edge of Elfland, U. S. Catholic Magazine, Sick Pilgrim, Emerging Scholars, Christian Democracy, and Patheos. He is a Humanities teacher at the Chesterton Academy of Notre Dame.
Shawn E. Marchese
Shawn E. Marchese is an Austin, Texas-based podcaster, writer, blogger, ale enthusiast and erstwhile independent film producer. Shawn is best known perhaps as the co-host of The Prancing Pony Podcast, a weekly podcast about J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium and winner of
the 2020 Tolkien Society Award for Best Online Content. Shawn has been a fan of Middle-earth for nearly three decades and is especially drawn to the linguistic aspects of Tolkien’s work.
Sarah Zama
Sarah Zama is a Tolkien nerd and proud of it. She read The Hobbit the first time as a teenager and was a Tolkien fan years before Peter Jackson's trilogy ever hit the theatres. She's always been involved with Tolkien groups, both online and in person. In 2004, she founded a Tolkien group in her city, Verona (Italy), which is still meeting and divulging the Professor's work. In 2017, she started reading Tolkien's work with a group of other nerdy readers, one chapter a day. They are still on the road together. Ghosts Through the Cracks is her first published novella. She's currently working at more historical fantasy stories set in the 1920s, and blogs regularly at theoldshelter.com.
We are very honored and excited to have these terrific panelists join us for TolkienMoot XVI this year.
Next year, Dr. Brenton Dickieson of Signum University will join us for the Zenith of Numenór (from Tar-Aldarion to Tar-Atanamir).
