This has nothing to do with the GMD website particularly,
but I wanted to make you aware that I've put up some web
pages about manuscript
preparation for publisher submissions. There's precious
little info on the internet that includes any real-life
samples so you can actually see what the pages should look
like when properly formatted. The examples used all come
from my book on MacDonald. I also go over cover letters.

I've finally got around to revising the section on GMD's
son, Ronald (Children link),
after receiving some new information from Dale Slusser in
the fall. Dale has a biography on Ronald MacDonald which
hopefully will start printing in the coming year from Zossima Press.
Much of the information we've seen about Ronald so far
seems to have been inaccurate in several details. I don't
believe the book has a title yet, but I'll post the details
here when I know. Dale has also uncovered a few very nice
photos of Ronald taken in the USA where he taught school
for several years.
Also, the Brander Library in Huntly, Aberdeenshire
now has possession of several original MS by GMD. They've
placed a few pages at random here and there online that you
can view. These were mostly written in GMD's own hand. The
George MacDonald Collection.

I've just added to more parts to the GMD documentary I've
been working on in my spare time: GMD
Part 2 and GMD
Part 3.
9-26-2008 I
just wanted to leave a link here to Patrick Maiwald's new
book on George MacDonald: The Journey in George MacDonald's Fantastic Fiction.
It's put out by a German Publisher but it written in
English. Whereas I devoted most of my book on Lilith
and Phantastes, Pat also writes about several of
MacDonald's shorter fairytales that have been often
neglected by other commentators. I like this book quite a
bit.

Fixed a few grammatical problems on some pages today. Also
added a link on the C.S. Lewis page to a nice website
concerning his ancestry.

Reviews for my book on GMD are finally starting to come
out. A couple of the reviews are
posted here.

YouTube
Channel: You may have noticed
recently that I put up a short 10-minute documentary movie
about GMD at YouTube (GMD
Part 1) that's gotten a pretty good reception.
Since then I've added a few other videos, so I have a
regular YouTube Channel now. This isn't really a GMD channel, although
there no doubt will be more videos about him and his
teachings in the future. The latest video was added yesterday
on the very touchy subject of fundamentalism. It's a 2-part
video. Feel free to leave a comment at YouTube if you're a
member, but please watch both
parts before you do.
