PCA Update 9/30

There is one day until the submission deadline for our sponsored session for PCA 2018 on children's and young adult versions of Frankenstein. I am disappointed to report that so far we have received ZERO proposals.

I am assuming the session will not be running.

My thanks to those that have helped spread the word about the call. Your efforts are much appreciated.

We will focus our attention now on promoting NEPCA 2018. Details can be found in the call for papers section of this site.
