>>PUB: chicken soup for the menopausal soul
========================================
Chicken Soup for the Menopausal Soul
We are now collecting stories for Chicken Soup for the Menopausal Soul, due to be published in August 2007. That may seem a long time out, but the publisher requires that all stories be selected, edited and submitted at least six months from the scheduled publication date. We need your stories by November 1, 2006, but the sooner you can get them to us, the better.
Types of Stories Needed
We are looking for primarily light-hearted, humorous stories. Yes, they do exist! They can be about your own menopausal experiences, or those that you've so happily "shared" with your husband(s), significant other(s), kids, bosses, employees or even animals. And they can be written by men! If your story is also uplifting, inspirational or educational, in addition to being funny, so much the better. We currently are developing chapter titles that will provide you with more ideas and guidance on what types of stories will have the best chance of being selected, so be sure to check back.
Important Submission Information
Each story being seriously considered for publication--usually about one out of every twenty submitted--is required to go through a lengthy evaluation and scoring process. We should have enough high-scoring stories by November 1, 2006, to begin our final editing and selection process, so don't wait until the last minute to submit. For more detailed information on How to Submit a Chicken Soup Story go to:

BUT WAIT, WE NEED MORE!
Besides stories, we are also in need of original poems and cartoons having to do with everything having to do with menopause and women's midlife issues/aging. If your poem is selected, then you receive $50, if your cartoon makes the final cut, you will receive $100. It's important that you do not send your original cartoon artwork, as we will ask for the original camera-ready artwork if your cartoon is selected. Please e-mail your story to: story@PublishingSyndicate.com.
