Primary Project:

Trevor is planning a 4-month Tier 1 engagement to prepare a paper for publication in JTR or Mythlore. He envisions monthly sessions focused on reviewing drafts, receiving critical feedback, and improving the paper's academic quality. The monthly structure is also intended to provide accountability and steady progress, which he finds motivating.

Secondary Project (if the first goes well):

Trevor is also considering a second, more informal project—a popular or inspirational-style book that explores Tolkien’s views on Faery and their significance for modern readers. This project would be more reflective and broadly accessible than the academic paper. He’s unsure whether it fits under Tutorials and wonders whether a suitable preceptor might need to be someone with strengths in public writing, mythopoeia, or spiritual/inspirational interpretation of Tolkien rather than strictly academic.

Additional Notes:

1. Trevor appreciates the recording policy for sessions, as he finds it helpful for reviewing dense or rapid discussions.
2. He has updated his availability in preparation to begin.
3. He is open to working with different preceptors across months depending on the phase of his work.
