Six New Chicken Soup Books Need Stories



Chicken Soup for the Soul publishers never cease to amaze me. Just when I think they've exhausted the subject list for new books, a call arrives with one more new title.

The Chicken Soup books started out being entertaining and sometimes inspiring stories on a particular theme. The stories honored mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings and friends. They moved on to being educational and motivational using themes like dieting, stress relief, exercise and fitness and more. Recently, titles on medical issues are in the works--back problems for one. And now help and support for caregivers and parents of children with disabilities have been included.

Read the history of this book series. Check the Fact Sheet snd look at the list of Awards and Recognitions and you'll be overwhelmed and also understand a bit more about the success of this anthology series.

Submissions are now being sought for the following titles. Check here to read more about each one.

1.  Parenthood
2.  Inspiration for Writers
3.  Independent Woman
4.  Angel Encounters
5.  Great Advice for Making Changes In Your Life
6.  For Parents of Children with Autism or Aspergers

Before sending a story, check the guidelines page. then check it again. They mean what they say in the guidelines but many stories are rejected because writers do not adhere to the guidelines.

I've been privlieged to be included in 12 of the Chicken Soup books, have another story in the finals round, and several more in the review process. If I can do it, so can you.
