We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Encyclopedia of
Disaster Relief, a new 2-volume reference to be published in 2010 by SAGE
Publications.
This comprehensive work will be marketed and sold to college, public, and
academic libraries and includes some 350 articles, covering all aspects of
disaster relief and related disciplines in the social sciences, including
terms and practices, profiles of relief organizations, biographies, and
descriptions of past relief efforts worldwide. We are now making final
assignments with a deadline of December 11, 2009 (VERY FIRM).
Each article, ranging from 800 to 4,000 words, is signed by the
contributor. The General Editors for the encyclopedia are K. Bradley Penuel
and Mathew Statler, Ph.D. of New York University, who will review all the
articles for editorial content and academic consistency.
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. Payments for the articles are honoraria that range from a $50 book
credit at SAGE Publications for article submissions totaling up to 1,000
words to a free set of the finished encyclopedia (a $250 value) for
contributions totaling 10,000 words. More than this, your involvement can
help assure that credible and detailed data, descriptions, and analysis are
available to students of disaster-relief issues.
The list of available articles (Excel file) and Style Guidelines are
prepared and will be sent to you in response to your inquiry. Please then
select which unassigned articles may best suit your interests and
expertise.
If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference
with the Encyclopedia of Disaster Relief, please contact me by the e-mail
information below. Please provide a brief summary of your background in
disaster-relief related issues. Thanks for your time and interest.
