Hooray for Hollywood: A Cultural Encyclopedia of America's Dream
Factory, edited by Bob Batchelor, Norma Jones, and Kathleen

Hollywood has long influenced popular culture, both as a source of
entertainment and as the subject of legends. Written for high school and
college students, as well as intelligent general readers yearning for
factual, well-research and well-written material, this encyclopedia
examines the history and mystery of Hollywood, focusing on the presence
of Hollywood in the American popular imagination. Entries will focus on
individuals (actors, directors, writers, and producers), films,
television shows, technologies, and issues surrounding contemporary
Hollywood.

We need writers RIGHT NOW!

We also have compensation for some of the entries!

Send a CV and the editors will provide a list of entries in search of
writers.

The Lost Generation: An Encyclopedia
Editors: Bob Batchelor and Kathleen M. Turner
The Lost Generation: An Encyclopedia brings to life the Jazz Age and the
artists, writers, and influential figures that made it one of the
nation’s most interesting and compelling periods. Since commentators
often use the Lost Generation in comparison with our own age, the
reference work enables readers and researchers engaged with the topic a
means of understanding the comparison, as well as the contrasting ideas
driving that era and our own.

Each article will include the name and affiliation of the contributor in
the byline of the entry. This project will be published by Rowman &
Littlefield. We are currently making assignments, deadlines will be on a
rolling basis.

Please express interest to both editors. We encourage graduate students,
advanced undergraduates, faculty and staff members, and

reference work. Bob Batchelor ((cultpopculture /at/ gmail.com)
