World History Encyclopedia is looking for writers eager for the opportunity to showcase their talents as part of an international team dedicated to providing free access to history via the world’s most-read history publication.
We cover historical subjects on any civilization and topic from the prehistoric period up through the 20th century and are used by high school and college students, history writers, gamers, novelists, as well as anyone with an interest in the subject. We promote mutual understanding worldwide through an appreciation of our shared past and common humanity and we welcome any writers interested in sharing that vision.
