Call for Contributors:
The Reader's Guide to Social Sciences was commissioned in March 1998 as
a two- volume reference book comprising 1,400 entries on key topics in
the social sciences. We are now at the stage where the bulk of the book
is in copy editing, and we urgently need contributors to write the last
remaining entries listed below.
Each 1,000 word entry is essentially a literature review. It should
list the key 8-10 texts on a topic, and discuss the quality, emphasis,
range and depth of coverage in each. Entries should concentrate on
reviewing books, key journal articles, collections of articles in book
form, and individual essays in collections.
If you are interested in writing any of the unassigned entries, please
contact Carol Jones, the project commissioning editor, at
[log in to unmask] She will make the formal assignment,
and provide you with a contributor guide that contains a sample entry.
Entries will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis, and
deadlines are negotiable but will necessarily be quite tight at this
late stage in the project. Owing to the huge inflow of emails that these
calls generate, you may not receive a reply straight away - please be
assured that Carol will reply to offers strictly in the order in which
they arrive, and you should hear from us within a week.
I hope that you will be able to take part in what has been a
well-received and exciting project so far.
