Subject: Gale Researcher: Call for Contributions
Dear colleagues,
Please consider contributing to the Gale Researcher British Literature series, as described in the call for contributions below:
Gale Researcher Query
We are looking for Early Modern and Shakespeare scholars who are interested in contributing to a series of eBooks for Gale, a division of Cengage Learning. We’re currently working to create two ten-volume series of eBooks (targeted at undergrads) on British Literature, both of which contain entries about Shakespeare and other Early Modern writers. Gale is interested in scholars who can write succinctly and clearly for an undergraduate audience. We are looking both for authors to write original essays and to revise essays currently owned by Gale. Doctoral candidates are welcome, but must be currently affiliated with a college or university. The deadline for essays is short: they would be due by July 30th, 2016. You would be credited as the author and/or co-author of the essay and there is a modest remuneration.
If you are interested, please contact Peter Schumacher at
