The Encyclopedia of Latin Music
October 24, 2009 – 12:22 pm
Calling all Latin music enthusiasts!
Ilan Stavans and I are editing a four-volume reference work on Latin music in the United States. It will be published by ABC-CLIO next year. We’re looking for music writers and academics to write 1,000-, 3,000-, and 5,000-word entries on musicians/composers, cities, countries, musical rhythms/styles, and important themes. Please send an email to jennifer@jenniferacker.com with a writing sample (3-5 pages) and CV if you’re interested in contributing.
Gracias.
