Chicken Soup for the Soul Submissions Call: Grandmothers


CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL: GRANDMOTHERS
The moment a grandchild is born, a grandmother is born too. Everyone has a great story about the unconditional love between grandmothers and their grandchildren. We are looking for heartwarming, insightful and humorous stories celebrating grandmothers and grandchildren, written by grandmothers about being a grandmother, and by grandchildren about their grandmothers. Stories about stepgrandmothers and honorary grandmothers are welcomed also.

Please share your true stories and poems written in the first person of no more than 1,200 words. If you have already submitted a story to our Grandmothers database, please do not submit it again. We have it and it will be considered for this book title. We are not looking for stories from children so please save those for a future book.

Stories should not have been previously published by Chicken Soup for the Soul or other major publications.

Here are some suggested topics, but we know you can think of many more:

  • The joys of becoming a grandmother
  • Love across the generations
  • Continuing legacies and traditions
  • The wisdom of grandmothers
  • What I learned from my grandchildren
  • The challenges of being a grandmother
  • The challenges of being a grandchild
  • Funny stories – we love funny stories!
  • Any other stories you would like to share

If your story is chosen, you will be a published author and your bio will be printed in the book if you so choose. You will also receive a check for $200 and 10 free copies of your book, worth more than $100. You will retain the copyright for your story and you will retain the right to resell it.

SUBMISSIONS GO TO http://chickensoup.com
 Select the Submit Your Story link on the left tool bar and follow the directions.

DEADLINE IS AUGUST 31, 2010.
