Call for Submissions: 2018 True Holiday Stories for Chicken Soup for the Soul

Chicken Soup for the Soul is currently calling for submissions for their 2018 collection of holiday stories.  They exclusively publish true stories, with a uniquely emotional component that connects with the reader. Poetry is also welcome.

Submission Guidelines:

People love reading about the winter holidays – from Thanksgiving all the way through New Year’s Day. We want to hear about your traditions and how they came to be. We want to hear about your holiday memories and the rituals that create the foundation of your life. We love to hear about the funny things too: the ugly holiday sweaters, the gingerbread house that kept falling down, the re-gifting embarrassments and the fruit cake disasters. Please be sure your stories are “Santa safe” so we don’t spoil the magic for any precocious young readers."

Pay: $200 per story or $100 per devotional plus contributor copies. Authors retain copyright to their work.

Length: Up to 1200 words for prose. Poetry is open line count.

Deadline: Jan. 10, 2018
