The
Chicken Soup for the Soul people are looking
for some at home dad fodder for their next book, Chicken Soup for the Father
and Son. They want inspirational, true stories, 1000 words or
less, that will make readers laugh, cry, jump for joy, find peace, or just say
"wow." Stories should be positive, universal, and non-controversial.
The "message" should be evident without preaching. No essays,
tributes, letters, philosophical or biographical pieces will be accepted. This
pretty much eliminates an entry from the fabulous Jay Allen of Zero
Boss, so if your style is closer to his, go this
route..
