I have a book project from Greenwood Press. I am a series editor on a Ten
volume companion set "The American Dance Floor." Currently the books
without authors assigned are:
 
1. Hip Hop /Break dancing/Urban Underground dances
2. Swing dancing
3. R N R Freestyle dances since 1970
4. Latin dances
The next step is to submit a writing sample of previous writing and also
a proposed outline for the project. The projected retail cost is $39.95
HC, intended as a reference / general reader. Each book will be
packaged and sold separately, but under a general style and format so
that each follows a similar set-up.
45 to 50,000 words with 25 photographs with a permissions rights budget
