Chicken Soup for the Soul anthologies have a constant call for true unpublished personal stories and poems on particular topics and the next is Positively Happy! with a deadline of 31 May. Serious or funny pieces are wanted about your path to contentment and how this can bring hope, strength and optimism to readers.
Following on from this the My Crazy Family anthology has a deadline of 30 June and stories and poems that will touch the heart of readers or make them laugh, or both, are what is wanted. Although guidelines say ‘when push comes to shove we all need our crazy families’, if you think your crazy family might not be too happy reading about themselves a pen name can be used if your story is published.
