CALL FOR AUTHORS

The Encyclopedia of World History

We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Encyclopedia of World
History, a new 7-volume major work to be published by Facts On File. In
chronological order, we are assigning the first 2 volumes covering 8000 
B.C.E.
to 600 C.E. and 600 to 1450. Topics cover ancient history worldwide and the
middle ages up to 1450, and include biographies, place descriptions, 
cultural
developments, and thematic essays.

Each article, ranging from 500 up to 3,500-plus words, is signed by the
contributor. The General Editors for the first two volumes are Mark F. 
Whitters,
Ph.D. and Jiu-Hwa Lo Upshur, Ph.D. (Eastern Michigan University), who will
review all the articles for academic and historical accuracy.

If you are interested in contributing to the encyclopedia, it can be a 
notable
publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits.
There is also a small honorarium paid for each article, $20 to $100, 
depending
on article length. For this submission, articles are due October 1, 2005.

The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step 
we will
e-mail you the article list (Word file) from which you can select topics 
that
best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally, you will receive Style
Guidelines that detail article specifications and honoraria payments.

If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding historical
reference with the Encyclopedia of World History, please contact me by the
e-mail information below. Please provide a brief summary of your
academic/publishing background. Thanks very much.
