Call for Contributors

Shaping the New World:  A Social, Political, and Cultural Encyclopedia and Document Collection

This four-volume set is under contract with ABC-CLIO, and features over 300 entries on all aspects of Colonial America from pre-contact through the founding of the United States.  The editors seek contributors for all of the available entries, which run between 1000-2500 words, in addition to a small number of 6000-word overview essays still available. 

All authors receive a signed entry for each contribution, as well as a modest compensation in the form of either monetary compensation, or ABC-CLIO dollars at a rate of 3:1, which can be used towards the purchase of any title in their catalog.

Interested contributors, which can include scholars at all levels, should send an email to co-editor James Seelye, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of History, Kent State University at Stark, at jseelye@kent.edu.  You will then receive style guidelines and the available entry list.
