This page is devoted to several authors who have kindly asked or
allowed us to put their published work up on the site. They have done
this because the work has some obvious thematic relevance to the other
material here.
Whereas the "Authors" have an ongoing relationship with Directarticle,
and will use it to update readers on their projects and work as well as
showcase new material, the "Guest authors" currently intend only to
reprint previously published articles here.
It is of course always possible for a guest author to transform his or
herself into an "Author" at some future date - and vice versa!
The Guest authors currently are: -

Berkswell's The Royal Year, and Royalty Digest. She is the author of
