Chicken Soup for the African American Soul
We are EXCITED to invite you or a friend to submit your story(ies) for
Chicken Soup for the African American Soul! This is an exciting and awesome
project and we'd love to have your participation! You will find submission
guidelines and sample stories at www.AfricanAmericanSoul.com. The
stories should be approx. 300-
1200 words, and either make the reader laugh, cry or get Goosebumps. We
highly suggest that you go to a bookstore and READ CHICKEN SOUP STORIES
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!
Share your memories with us of mother lessons, father experiences, grandma
(big mama) guidance, whoopings, failures turned to victories, faith and
church memories, pastor and congregation stories, beauty shop and hair
memories, fighting to believe memories, incarceration battles, corporate
America victories and lessons and anything else that you believe will
inspire millions. Though we are compiling the memories, it will take a
village to tell the story.
Thank you in advance for being the village!
We will be collecting stories until Spring of 2003, or until we get 101
really great stories and would appreciate your story contributions as soon
as you are able to get it in (the sooner, the better!)
Please let us know if you have any questions.
PLEASE pass this information on to anyone you think would be interested!
If you've already submitted a story... THANK YOU! Please spread the word!
If you are interested in being on our volunteer development team to work and
bring this book to completion, please email us at
AfAmSoul@aol.com.
Thank you for your commitment.
You received this email because of expressed interest in this project or
referral from a friend. If you would like to be removed, please just email
me back and let me know.
