We are looking for authors to contribute to this two-book series from Greenwood Press on national/ethnic dress. This series is intended for an undergraduate student and adult audience interested in dress. Clothing will be presented in terms of style, and design, and how it reflects the culture. We are looking for authors to write about women's, children's, men's dress from many cultures around the world. The deadline for completion of the writing is May-June 2010, and the word counts vary depending on the subject (approx 3300-4000 words).
