Hello everyone. Seeing as there are so many good thinkers here I thought some of you might be interested in taking part in a book I am editing:

Cassell Illustrated publishing is recruiting writers for its forthcoming reference/coffee table book on the 1000 key events in world history since 1900. Writers will be asked to compose entries of approximately 230 words on events of their choice from our master list, which explain the event itself and intimate why it is a key event in shaping the modern world. Events include everything from key discoveries, inventions, and political events to natural disasters, arts, and culture. Contributors need not be historians; rather, we are looking for talented writers from any discipline that are able to research and describe historical events in an engaging and articulate manner. Contributors will be paid approximately 25 pounds for each entry. If you are interested in becoming a writer for this project, please send the following as soon as possible to the general editors at biancsjackson@yahoo.com or jmorton8@gmail.com:
%u2022 A short biography (approximately 50 words or less)
%u2022 A writing sample of 250 words or less describing a key event in history

Thanks,
The General Editors
