The Korea Foundation is Looking for Writers for Korea Essentials 2013 Volumes
Writers wanted to pen the Korea Essential 2013 series, a cooperative project between the Korea Foundation and Seoul Selection. Twelve volumes have been published so far, which you can find on Seoul Selection’s online bookshop. This year, four volumes are planned to be released: Hanbok and Korean Fashion, Taekwondo, Korean Traditional Medicine, and Korean Dance. Each volume is about 20,000 words; manuscripts should focus on providing readers fun, easy explanations rather than excessively technical content.

If you are interested in writing, please send a resume and writing sample to the appropriate supervisor below:
  • Hanbok and Korean Fashion: Hye Young Park pubco@seoulselection.com
  • Taekwondo: Hwa-pyeong Kim word@seoulselection.com
  • Korean Traditional Medicine: Eugene Kim planner@seoulselection.com
