<div>Greetings unto the Known World,</div>
<div><br>The revision of the Known World Handbook continues, and while we have<br>already received some really excellent articles there are still plenty<br>of topics that we need covered (see needed topics list below). Please<br>
remember that we are not looking for historical research articles but<br>general how-to articles so that a new player can gain the knowledge that<br>they need to get started in the SCA.<br><br>The deadline for this second call for articles is September 1, 2009.<br>
Please try to keep the articles between 800 and 3000 words (one to four<br>8.5x11 pages). Please submit them via Microsoft Word files, or in the<br>body of an email to: <a href="http://us.mc313.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=kwh@sca.org" target="_blank">kwh@sca.org</a> .<br>
