Dear Alan Thanks for your very helpful message. You seem an ideal person to write on this topic. We would therefore very much like to include you. So, let's put you down for: Labour Markets (1000) (Any interest in doing 'job security' (500 words) too? If so, please say.) So, assuming this is OK, I am copying this message to Aileen Harvey, the editor at Routledge, who in time will send you a contract and style guide / instructions by email. Of course, do ask us if you have any questions. Thank you so much for your support and interest! We are very pleased to have you as a contributor.
