We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Encyclopedia of
Sports Management and Marketing, a new 4-volume, 4-color reference to be
published in 2011 by SAGE Publications.
This comprehensive work will include some 1,000 articles as a multi-author,
multi-curricular reference primarily for college and university libraries.
Over 200 academic programs in the U.S. (and nearly 50 in Canada, Europe,
and Australia) now focus specifically on sport management education.
Students and professionals consulting the work will come from these
programs, as well as traditional disciplines, such as business and
marketing, communication, physical education, and sports psychology.
Because entries, by intent, will be comprehensible for the lay reader, the
encyclopedia will serve a secondary market in public libraries for the
general public and sports marketing professionals. We are now making
assignments with a deadline of December 1, 2009.
Each article, ranging from 500 to 3,500 words, is signed by the
contributor. The General Editor for the encyclopedia is Linda E. Swayne,
Ph.D., UNC-Charlotte, who will review all the articles for editorial
content and academic consistency. In addition, the project is overseen by a
distinguished editorial board.
If you are interested in contributing to the encyclopedia, it can be a
notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing
credits. Payment for the articles are honoraria that range from a $50 book
credit at Sage Publications for article submissions totaling 500 to 1,000
words up to a free set of the finished encyclopedia for contributions
totaling 10,000 words.
The list of available articles (Excel file) and Style Guidelines are
prepared and will be sent to you in response to your inquiry. Please then
select which unassigned articles may best suit your interests and
expertise.
If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference
with the Encyclopedia of Sports Management and Marketing, please contact me
by the e-mail information below. Please provide a copy of you CV and a very
brief summary of your relevant background. Thanks for your time and
interest.
