A Call for Authors Greenwood Press is seeking authors for the creation of a four-volume reference set entitled Chronology of the U.S. Presidency. The compilation would have 44 chapters (one chapter for each President). We are looking for authors to write one or more chapters for the project. The length of each entry would depend on the president you would like to write about. Shorter entries (e.g. Martin Van Buren) would be 8,000 words or approximately 17 pages. Medium length entries (e.g. Herbert Hoover) would be 12,000 words or approximately 22 pages. Long entries (e.g. FDR) would be 15,000 words or 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. Instead of cash payments, authors may opt for Greenwood/ABC-CLIO press book credit which is three times the amount of cash payments. If you are interested in participating in this project, please send a vitae and letter identifying your first and second choice of president you would like to write about to: Dr. Mathew Manweller Central Washington University manwellerm@cwu.edu 509-963-2396 If selected to author a chapter, an individual contract will be awarded with specific information regarding format, content, and accompanying material. Authors will be given approximately 6-8 months to complete the requested work. Regards, Matt Manweller
