Call for Proposals for a History of the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids)
Call for Proposals for a History of the Hospital for Sick Children
(SickKids)
The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), in partnership with the
University of Toronto Press (UTP), invites interested historians and other
experienced authors to submit a proposal for a comprehensive history of
SickKids.
SickKids is one of the world’s largest and most respected children’s
hospitals which dates back to 1875. Its story is a blend of clinical
excellence, leadership in research and discovery combined with an ongoing
commitment to education and learning. At the root of these accomplishments
is SickKids’ vision of improving the health of children. The role SickKids
has played in children’s’ health extends beyond its walls on University
Avenue to the City of Toronto, the Province of Ontario, Canada and
internationally.
Our goal is to have a finished manuscript by 2014 with publication in
2015. The Publisher envisions a manuscript of approximately 175,000 words
accompanied by photographs and other illustrative material.
An editorial board consisting of senior staff from SickKids and UTP has
been established to consider proposals.
Submissions are being accepted up until midnight January 15, 2012
Proposals should include the following:
• A current curriculum vitae, including a list of previous publications;
• A detailed outline of the proposed book which should include the
following: a short summary (including the approach— i.e., thematic or
chronological); a tentative table of contents including chapter summaries;
a discussion of similar or related books; the role of photographs and
illustrations; and any other relevant information;
• The intended audience for the book;
• Research plan;
• A complete multi-year budget, including research and other costs;
• A proposed timeline with project milestones;
• An estimated word count.
• References
The author/researcher will have access to the archives at SickKids.
Interested parties should submit their proposals through email to
historysickkids@utpress.utoronto.ca with the subject line: History of Sick
Kids.
Please direct any specific questions regarding this call for proposal to
Len Husband, Acquisitions Editor at lhusband@utpress.utoronto.ca or
