The Sirens online submission system may be used to submit papers, panels, workshops, roundtable discussions, afternoon classes, and other presentations suitable for an audience of academics, professionals, educators, librarians, authors, and fantasy readers. Proposals will be accepted until May 7, 2010. Please note the information below before proceeding through the submission system, and write to (programming at sirensconference.org) should you have any questions.

If you're submitting a paper, lecture, panel, workshop, roundtable discussion, afternoon class, or combination presentation, you'll need to:

• read our Call for Proposals and Elements page, and understand the vetting process;
• gather e-mail addresses of any co-presenters, who will receive an invitation to input their individual names, additional titles, biographies, summaries, and abstracts to complete your submission;
• determine a final title for your entire submission;
• prepare 50-100 words of summary to be listed on our website and in our program book;
• prepare a biography of 50-100 words for our website and program book; and
• prepare your abstract (or abstracts, in the case of pre-empaneled sets of papers) of 300-500 words. Those proposing to lead a roundtable discussion may submit 10-15 sample questions in lieu of a formal abstract, and workshop leaders may submit lesson plans instead of abstracts.
