I just received the e-mail below from the Chicken Soup people. I wanted to share with you. I have bolded the subject. If you have a story or know of someone who may have a story please pass this on.
"Hi Everyone!
Lisa and I just want to remind you that we are in the final month for receiving stories for Chicken Soup for the African American Woman's Soul. Please help us make this final push and TELL EVERYONE you know that if they have a story to share, now is the time to do it! The story guidelines are below, but if you have ANY doubt about what we consider an inspiring, uplifting "Chicken Soupy" story, please read Chicken Soup for the African American Soul. Thank you all for your participation, interest, encouragement and PATIENCE with us as we put the last final UMPFF into this wonderful project!
Sincerely, Lisa and Eve www.AfricanAmericanSoul.com"

We are EXCITED to invite you or a friend to submit your stories for Chicken Soup for the African American Woman's Soul! You will find submission guidelines and sample stories at http://www.AfricanAmericanSoul.com. The stories should be approx.1200 words and either make the reader laugh, cry or get goose bumps and leave the reader uplifted and inspired! We highly suggest that you go to a bookstore and READ CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE AFRICAN AMERICAN SOUL before you start writing, as there is a definite "type" of story that qualifies for a Chicken Soup book-heartwarming, inspiring, uplifting, written with EMOTION-and this already released book has nearly 85 examples in it of the types of stories that make it through the selection process. PLEASE submit your stories as either an attached Word Document THAT ALSO CONTAINS ALL OF YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION or in the body of an email to Stories@AfricanAmericanSoul.com
Sincerely, Eve Hogan, senior editor
Lisa Nichols, co-author
