CALL FOR AUTHORS
Booms and Busts: An Economics Encyclopedia
Second Deadline
We are inviting academic editorial contributors to Booms and Busts: An Economics Encyclopedia, a
new 3-volume high-school library reference to be published in 2009 by M.E. Sharpe Publishers.
This project is on an accelerated schedule to capture the current economic crisis. We are under
contract to deliver the manuscript in thirds and are now working with the second deadline of
March 8, 2009. (If you have signed up for the February 8 deadline ? please stick to that as your
article assignment is now promised to the publisher for that date.)
This comprehensive work will be marketed and sold to high-school and public libraries and
includes some 450 articles, covering all aspects of business cycles and related disciplines in the
social sciences, including terms and practices, profiles of countries and companies, and
international business organizations.
Each article, ranging from 600 to 4,000 words, is signed by the contributor. The General Editor
of the encyclopedia is Mehmet Odekon, Ph.D., Skidmore College, who will review all the articles
for editorial content and academic consistency. Note the intended audience for the encyclopedia
is the high-school student: All articles must in simple, nontechnical language with terms defined
to be accepted.
If you are interested in contributing to this timely project, it can be a notable publication addition
to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits. Honoraria payments are a flat $20 per
article accepted with a free set of the encyclopedia sent to contributors who contribute 10,000
words or more. More than this, your involvement can help assure that credible and detailed data,
description, and analysis are available to the next generation of business 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 Booms and Busts: An
Economics Encyclopedia, please contact me by the e-mail information below. Please provide a
very brief summary of your background in business and economic issues. Thanks for your time
and interest. Please remember this call is for the March 8, 2009, deadline.
