Registration is now open for the fourth annual meeting of The Literary Agents which will take place on Zoom on Friday 12th January 2024 at 10:30-11:30 EST. Please complete this survey to register. To avoid the risk of unwanted ne'er-do-wells, we will issue the Zoom link a few days before the event.
The Literary Agents is a scion society of the Baker Street Irregulars (BSI) dedicated to studying Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s works — not exclusively (but also not excluding) those he may have promoted for, or under the name of, Dr John H. Watson...
The meeting is hosted by Ashley D. Polasek BSI (Author of
Being Sherlock and Editor of
The Conan Doyle Review) and Mark Jones BSI (Co-host of the
Doings of Doyle podcast).
This year’s theme is the
Devilish Doctor Doyle - musings on Conan Doyle as physician and his medico-Gothic writings in
Round the Red Lamp (1894). This year, our special guest is
Professor Roger Luckhurst (Birkbeck, University of London), author of
numerous works on Gothic literature, and editor of the Edinburgh Works' edition of
Round the Red Lamp. And we are joined by a panel of esteemed Doylean medicos to discuss ACD as GP: Marilynne McKay, Robert Katz, and Richard Sveum. It's not to be missed!
As ever, anyone can become a member of The Literary Agents by doing these three things:
(1) Sign up for the annual meeting of The Literary Agents;
(2) Attend the meeting;
(3) Be nice to everyone when participating (and preferably at all other times!).
There are no other hoops, and no dues.
