Chicken Soup for the Soul just updated their call for submissions for their upcoming book Running for Good. They’re now also seeking stories and poems about walking as well as running.
According to their call for submissions:
We are excited to once again be teaming up with Dean Karnazes, the Ultramarathoner, on another special and exciting book not only about running but about walking as well. It is well known that steps of any kind condition the body, but they are also great for conditioning the mind, the soul, and the spirit. The title of this new book on running and walking has two meanings: running and walking are good for your health and you can run or walk to do good for someone else by raising awareness of an issue or to raise funds for a cause.
They pay $200 per story or poem, as well as 10 copies of the book your story is published in.
Their current deadline for submissions is December 15th, 2018. Though, keep in mind that they have changed deadlines in the past.
Also, keep in mind that they only respond to submissions for the stories they publish. To stay up-to-date on their calls for submissions, publishing status, etc, it can help to follow the editor, Amy Newmark, on Twitter.
