List of Articles
This is the list of articles that will appear in this
work, organized by topic. An x- indicates that the article
is crosslisted in a subsidiary category, in addition to
being listed in its main category. So, for example, John
Deere is listed in Science and Invention, and crosslisted in
Agriculture. This is for authors' benefit, so they can be
aware of what subjects are being covered under each topic.
Entries that are struck through have already
been assigned. Note: This list was last updated on 10 Novmeber 2008
at 10:30 a.m. PST.
Compensation rates are as follows:
5,000 word articles - $100
2,500 word articles - $50
1,500 word articles - $30
750 word articles - $20
Anyone who writes 5,000 words' worth of articles--either
as one article, or several--will also be given a
complimentary copy of the encyclopedia.
750-2,500 word articles will be due two months after they
are assigned. 5,000 word articles will be due three months
after they are assigned.
Special Note: Any article 2,500 words or longer
must include at least two suggestions for "sidebar" topics
at the end of the article. Sidebars are brief, engaging
articles that relate to the main subject at hand but are not
covered extensively (or at all) in the main article. So, for
example, an appropriate sidebar for Clothing and Fashion
might be "Amelia Bloomer" or "The Rise of the Beard."
