Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
We are writing/compiling the next Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. Based on the thousands of letters we’ve received, teenagers love these books and find inspiration, comfort, and strength from them. So, here is your opportunity to contribute to the latest volume in the teen series. Write something you’ve been meaning to write, or perhaps you already have a story lying around that you would like to submit.
The book is currently titled, A Guide (for Teens) on Getting Happy, Instead of Just Getting By. Chapters include: Getting Positive, Getting Happy with Yourself, Getting Over Past Hurts, Getting Strong, Getting Confident, Getting Along with Others, Getting Thoughtful and Doing for Others, Getting Lighthearted and a Good Sense of Humor, Finding Happiness in Responsibility and Commitment, Getting Active, Getting in Charge (of your life), Getting Motivated.
We are looking for first-person, non-fiction narratives. Stories should be about 1-3 pages long, 400-1200 words, double-spaced, size 12, Times New Roman. They should be written about something that happened to you and made you learn a bit about something you think might help a teenager who reads the book. It shouldn’t be preachy, but still be something that teens can relate to. If you are not a teenager, then try writing from the perspective you had when you were that age. It is okay for the wisdom you have gained with age to shine through.
Send all of your submissions ASAP to chickensoupforteens@yahoo.com.
The submission deadline is July 16, 2007. Sorry for the short timeframe. Release date is winter 2008.
If your submission is published you will receive $150.00 compensation.
Sincerely,
Mitch Claspy
