PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY

We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Encyclopedia of
Drug Policy, a new 2-volume reference to be published in 2011 by SAGE
Publications.

This comprehensive work will be marketed and sold to college, public, and
academic libraries and includes some 400 articles, covering all aspects of
drug policy and the “war on drugs” and related disciplines in the social
sciences, including terms and practices, profiles of laws and programs,
organizations, biographies, and descriptions of past drug-control efforts
worldwide. We are now making assignments with a deadline of March 31,
2010.

Each article, ranging from 800 to 4,000 words, is signed by the
contributor. The General Editors for the encyclopedia are Dr. Mark Kleiman
at UCLA and Dr. James Hawdon at Virgina Tech,  who will review all the
articles for editorial content and academic consistency.

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. Payments for the articles are honoraria that range from a $50
book credit at SAGE Publications for article submissions totaling up to
1,000 words to a free set of the finished encyclopedia (a $250 value) for
contributions totaling 10,000 words. More than this, your involvement can
help assure that credible and detailed data, descriptions, and analysis
are available to students of drug policy issues.

The list of available articles (Excel file), style guidelines and sample
article are attached. Please select which unassigned articles may best
suit your expertise and email the selections to me so I can confirm
availability. 

If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference
with the Encyclopedia of Drug Policy, please contact me by the e-mail
information below. Please provide a brief summary of your background in
drug policy-related issues. Thanks for your time and interest.
