Although we’ve received a number of proposals for a special issue of JFA on the Canadian Fantastic, we were hoping to reach readers of the journal who might not also be on this listserv. However, due to unavoidable publication delays, the issues of the journal containing the CfP will arrive in mailboxes after the original deadline.
So we’re extending the deadline to February 15.
We’re defining the fantastic as broadly as does the conference, and hoping to see proposals on the work of many great Canadian writers including (but not limited to) R. Scott Bakker, Sylvie Bérard, A. M. Dellamonica, Charles de Lint, Cory Doctorow, Candas Jane Dorsey, William Gibson, Hiromi Goto, Phyllis Gotlieb, Nalo Hopkinson, Tanya Huff, Guy Gavriel Kay, Yves Meynard, Spider Robinson, Geoff Ryman, Robert J. Sawyer, Karl Schroeder, S. M. Stirling, Jean-Louis Trudel, Elisabeth Vonarburg, A. E. van Vogt, Robert Charles Wilson, toalphabetizeonly a few of our northern stars.
Please submit a 300-word proposal by February 15, 2012 to both Graham Murphy (grahammurphy@trentu.ca) and Chrissie Mains (cemains@shaw.ca).
