Recently, the news that Chicken Soup for the Soul books has filed bankruptcy sent shivers up and down the spines of the many contributors to this popular anthology. Many would want to send new stories for the latest books. Now what?
Like all things, there is more to a story than its headline. Redbox is the parent company of Chicken Soup for the Soul. They distribute the movies in the separate kiosks in many stores. They have filed bankruptcy.
I was alarmed when I read about the bankruptcy filing, the not paying employees and more, but I did a bit of research and learned that the book end of the company is alright. They still plan on 10-12 new books annually.
