[Buddha-l] FW: [RISA-L LIST] H-ASIA: Seeking authors on Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism for series

[JKirkpatrick]

Dear fellow Sanghawaalas/waaliis............
Here's a golden op. for spreading the word, a la scholarship. It
would be marvelous if high and grammar school kids could be
reached in this way, no matter what sampraday they end up with. 
Too bad this publisher only admits an exposition of one document
:(  The good old standby, the Theodore de Bary series, allowed
for much more, but also it was pitched to the grad level, as I
recall.
How I'd love to submit something--but can't claim the necessary
credentials. Go for it, scholars!! 
Best,
Joanna

Call for Writers:

I am the editor in chief of Milestone Documents of World
Religions, the latest installment in the award-winning "Milestone
Documents"
series of reference books published by Schlager Group. We are
seeking writers for this new 3-volume set. Aimed at high school
and lower undergraduate history students, the set will cover more
than 100 of the most important religious documents in history,
featuring all major religions across the globe and throughout
history.

Our unique approach pairs an original article of 4,500 words
alongside the text of the primary document. Each article will
discuss the context of the document, exploring why and how the
document was written, by whom and for whom, and its historical
impact. Every entry will carry the author's byline. To receive
more information about the project, including the writing
honorarium, model entry, contributor guidelines, and entry list,
please contact the publisher, Neil Schlager, directly:
neil at schlagergroup.com.
