Guardian angels may play a role in multiple calls this month. While Chicken Soup for the Soul is looking for nonfiction articles that offer a glimpse into the relationship some experience with those who have passed on, Still Moments Publishing is looking for all-things romance for a Christmas anthology. And, if the year didn’t feel like it was passing quickly enough, Total E-Bound has put out its Valentine’s 2012 call!
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Messages from Heaven
101 Miraculous Stories of Signs from Beyond, Amazing Connections, and Love that Doesn’t Die
When our loved ones leave this world, our connection with them does not end. Death takes away their physical presence, but not their spirit, and we often sense them after they have gone. Sometimes we see or hear from them after they’ve passed, giving us signs and messages from beyond.
We want to hear from you if you have experienced the other side or received a sign or signal from a loved one who has passed. Has someone who has died come to you in a dream? Given you counsel or comfort? Have you gone beyond, but returned to life with new knowledge, insight, or awareness? Have you intuitively known the moment someone died? Share your true, touching, and astounding stories about messages from heaven or your own experiences with dying and coming back.
This book is for everyone who has a story, whether religious or secular. Please note that since we see many stories about messages from heaven in the form of rainbows, bird, butterflies, and coins, we will only be able to use a few stories on those types of messages from beyond.
Here are some possible story topics, but we know you can think of more:
  • Words of wisdom from a loved one who has passed
  • Personal exchanges with a loved one who has passed
  • Omens or visions from beyond
  • Receiving guidance or lessons from a loved one who has passed
  • Revelations from beyond
  • Apparitions from beyond
  • Signs from beyond from a loved one
  • Knowing the exact moment someone passed
Please remember, we do not like “as told to” stories. Please write in the first person about yourself or someone close to you. If you ghostwrite a story for someone else we will list their name as the author. If a story was previously published, we will probably not use it unless it ran in a small circulation venue. Let us know where the story was previously published in the “Comments” section of the submission form.
If your story is chosen, you will be a published author and your bio will be printed in the book if you so choose. You will also receive a check for $200 and 10 free copies of your book, worth more than $100. You will retain the copyright for your story and you will retain the right to resell it.
This is a new addition to our spring 2012 line-up, with a quick production schedule! Deadline for submissions is October 3.
Submissions go to: http://chickensoup.com Select the Submit Your Story link on the left tool bar and follow the directions.

Fairy Tales Times Three
Won’t you join us for another trip into the fairy tale realm? This time the twist we’re giving them is ménage relationships – three or more in a bed (or the woods, or the tower…).

She is looking for 8 – 9 other tales to create this newest anthology for Ravenous Romance. What stories do you think could benefit from a ménage? Email with your favorite idea if you want to talk it through or send her your 5K story by November 1 to rachelkenley@gmail.com.
Heart Attack
Love isn’t the only thing that can get your heart beating fast. For Valentine’s Day, Total E-Bound would like to see pulse-pounding thrillers with plenty of tension—and lots of steamy sex and a happily-ever-after, too. We’re looking for 4 stories between 15,000 and 20,000 words. 
  • Any combination of M/F, M/F/M, M/M/F, M/M
  • Submission deadline is 15th August 2011
  • Non-TEB authors should submit the full story plus synopsis.
