Writing Market: Chicken Soup for the Soul

I've known about the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books for a long time but I keep forgetting to try submitting anything! They offer a great opportunity to write non-fiction pieces on a wide variety of subjects and a full list of proposed topics is on their website. For instance, some of the upcoming subjects cover Miracles, Overcoming Challenges, Reboot Your Life, Stories About Cats and Stories About Dogs.

The guidelines are quite explicit: it should be a true, inspirational story about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. They should be written in first person, with a beginning, middle and end, and should create some emotion in the reader - they can be sad, funny, exciting. Maximum length is 1,200 words.

While I'm waiting for my new tween book, The Jigsaw Puzzle, being published by MuseItUp next month, I arranged print copies of my first tween book, Summer of the Eagles (as Ros). Lovely writer friend and former journalist, Sara, designed this lovely new cover for the print version and it's now available from FeedARead. I guessed some of the people at the conference would prefer a print version for this age group (around 10-13 years).

Wishing all my lovely fellow bloggers, friends and readers a Happy Easter weekend.
