Chicken Soup for the Grandma's Soul

Chicken Soup for the Soul publishers are looking for inspirational, true stories about grandmothers that will make readers laugh, cry or sigh. Stories should be 1000 words or less and be positive, universal and non-controversial. For each story selected for the book, a 50-word biography will be included about the author and a permission fee of $200 will be paid. The submission deadline is July 1, 2004.

Judith Burnett Schneider and Julie Long have had stories published in Chicken Soup titles and feel the series is a great vehicle for publication. Many titles have reached the NY Times Bestseller list.

Topics for this latest book will include:

Sage Advice
Tender Moments
Celebrating with Grandma
Legacies & Heilooms
Substitute Grandma
Long Distance Grandma
To Grandma's House We Go!
Through the Eyes of a Child
