ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF PLAY
We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Encyclopedia of Play, a new 2-volume reference to be published in 2009 by Sage Publications - http://www.sagepub.com
This comprehensive work will be marketed and sold to college, public, and academic libraries and includes some 450 articles, covering all aspects of a social science perspective on playing, including psychology, gender studies, sociology, education, human development, history, and other fields. We are now making assignments with a deadline of August 1, 2008.
Each article, ranging from 500 to 3,500 words, is signed by the contributor.
The General Editor for the encyclopedia is Rodney P. Carlisle, Ph.D., Rutgers
University, who will review all the articles for editorial content and academic
consistency. In addition, the project is overseen by a distinguished editorial
board, including Dr. Brian Sutton-Smith.
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. Payment for the articles are honoraria that range from a $50 book credit at Sage Publications for article submissions totaling 500 to 1,000 words up to a free set of the finished encyclopedia (a $400 value) for contributions totaling 10,000 words.
The list of available articles, style guidelines and sample article are attached for your review. If you would like to contribute, please select the unassigned articles that best suit your interests and expertise. E-mail the article selections to me and I will confirm availability. Please include your contact information (name, mailing address, phone number, university, department, title) for processing of articles in your name.
Thanks for your time and interest.
Best,
