Final call for entries (Islam: A Worldwide Encyclopedia)

This is a call for entries for a major reference work on Islamic faith contracted with ABC-CLIO. Inquiries should be addressed to Editor, Dr. Cenap Çakmak, at [email protected]. Potential authors are kindly requested to send a brief CV indicating their areas of expertise and major scholarly works.

Entry length ranges between 500 to 2,000 words. Deadline is a little short as the publication schedule is tight. All entries should be written from an Islamic perspective.

The work is already included in the production process and offered for preorder (See http://www.amazon.com/Islam-volumes-Encyclopedia-Cenap-%C3%87akmak/dp/1610692160). Almost half of the available entries are being (or will be) written by the editor who is also currently seeking contributors for the final round.
