Conlangers Bibliography

An increasing number of conlangers and world builders have now published works based on their constructed languages and cultures. Some of these are collections of short fiction, while others are series of novels, while still others are works about the art of conlanging itself. This Article is intended to be a directory of the conlang-related published works of any member of the community who wishes to advertise the fact. Be it book, e-book, short movie, song, comic, anthology or scholarly work, we want to know what it is and how we can get hold of it! Also of interest here are works about the construction of languages and alternate worlds, but written by folks outside our immediate community.
