Greenwood Press publication opportunity: Chronology of the U.S. Presidency.
Greenwood Press seeks authors for a four-volume reference set entitled Chronology of the U.S. Presidency. The compilation will have forty-four chapters (one for each president). Each author will write one or more chapters of varying length for the project. Shorter entries would be 8,000 words (approximately 17 pages); medium entries would be 12,000 words (approximately 22 pages); long entries would be 15,000 words (approximately 27 pages). Stipends will be paid to authors based on the length of the entry: $150 for short entries, $175 for medium entries, and $225 for long entries. In lieu of cash payments, authors may opt for a Greenwood/ABC-CLIO Press book credit of three times the amount of cash payments. If you are interested in participating in this project, please send a curriculum vitae and letter identifying your first and second choice of president to: Dr. Mathew Manweller, Central Washington University, manwellerm@cwu.edu, 509-963-2396. Individual contracts will be awarded with specific format and content information. Authors will be given approximately 6 to 8 months to complete the requested work.
