Philimore History Books Require Authors

Each book typically contains around 30,000 words and 150 illustrations. Phillimore would now like to add Greenwich, Woolwich, Lewisham, Orpington, Gravesend, Sittingbourne, Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone, Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone to the series, and they are looking for possible authors.
