Authors for Latin Projects: Hippocrene Books

Hippocrene Books is an independent, New York based
publishing house specializing in foreign language
dictionaries and international interest trade titles.

We are currently seeking authors for two Latin
projects (Beginner’s Latin and
English-Latin/Latin-English Concise Dictionary) in
accordance with the following series:  

1) The Beginner’s series, which now includes more than
30 languages, is designed to lay the foundations of
grammar for students and those interested in
self-study. Through lessons, exercises, dialogues, and
examples authors are expected to provide users with
the basic tools needed to understand and communicate
effectively at an elementary level. Individuals with
strong writing skills and teaching experience are
encouraged to apply.

2) The Concise Dictionary series is compact bilingual
dictionary that gives users a basic lexicon of 8,000
words (on either side; minimum of 16,000 in total) in
a simple and easy-to-use format. Hippocrene currently
has a list of some 5,000 words that contracted
author(s) can use to help compile the dictionary. A
short guide to pronunciation and a grammar section are
also required from potential authors. Linguists,
classicists, and translators are best suited for this
project. 
 
If either of these projects seems intriguing to you or
one of your colleagues I would be happy to send you
further information such as sample books and
guidelines. Potential author(s) are expected to
provide sample pages in a timely manner before being
contracted.

Interested candidates, please contact me by email at
hippocrene.books@verizon.net.
