Chicken Soup for the Soul just announced a brand new anthology, with a very powerful theme: Forgiveness.
They want true stories of forgiveness. Writers from around the world are invited to submit their stories.
They pay $200 per published story or poem, as well as 10 contributor copies.
According to their call for submissions:
“Have you ever noticed how forgiving someone frees you to move on with your life? You don’t have to forget or condone something that happened, but for your own wellbeing you have to move past your anger. It can be a major decision, something really big like forgiving someone who caused a major negative event in your life, especially if you feel you were seriously wronged. Or it can be something minor like forgiving a rude driver who cut you off.
We are looking for stories that will show our readers how forgiving someone or being forgiven by someone changed your life in a positive way. Were you able to reestablish a relationship after forgiving or being forgiven? Did letting go of your hurt feelings heal you and bring you a sense of peace? Help others find the same resolution by sharing your story.”
The deadline for submissions is May 30th, 2019.
