Writers Wanted
for the
Encyclopedia of New Jersey
Rutgers University Press is now at work on an Encyclopedia of New
Jersey, which will consist of approximately one million words, five
hundred illustrations and maps, and three thousand A-to-Z entries on the
Garden State, covering such topics as: ethnic groups, religions,
municipalities and counties, notable New Jerseyans, business and industry,
folklife, natural resources, history, art, literature, music, geography,
science, technology, education, government, sports, and transportation.
We believe the Encyclopedia will be the most important and comprehensive
reference work ever published on New Jersey, and will contribute to an
appreciation of the rich history and diversity of our state for scholars,
teachers, and the general public.
The project needs hundreds of men and women to write entries,
ranging from 100 to 2,000+ words each. Writers will receive ten cents per
word, plus a discount on purchasing copies of the Encyclopedia.
If you are interested in becoming a writer for the Encyclopedia,
and/or in suggesting topics, please use the form below. (We expect that
the editors will begin assigning topics to writers in late 1998.)
