Description
UMGC is seeking qualified vendors to develop a comprehensive, coffee‑table‑style institutional history book commemorating its 80th anniversary. The contractor will conduct archival research, coordinate and conduct stakeholder interviews, create detailed chapter outlines, draft a full narrative manuscript, and iterate revisions with UMGC. The final deliverable is a print‑ready manuscript ready for hand‑off to a separate design/printing contractor; visual asset acquisition and layout are excluded.
• Conduct original research using UMGC archives and secondary sources.
• Coordinate and facilitate interviews with university leadership, alumni, faculty, staff, and other stakeholders (including international subjects).
• Produce a full manuscript (≈100–150 pages) in a trade‑style narrative nonfiction voice, including chapter outlines, sidebars, and vignettes.
• Provide iterative revisions (at least two cycles) and supply interview transcripts/notes and rights documentation for any non‑UMGC visuals.
