In case you did not receive my first invitation, I'm excited to let you, as writers, know about this great opportunity to get published. It would be so great if you would forward this to your members, include it in your newsletter, include it in your blog, and/or post it on your website. Here's why: In October 2013 we released O Canada The Wonders of Winter,and the publisher was so pleased they've asked us to create another Canadian title for Christmas 2014! For the Winter book we received submissions from writers across Canada that belong to groups like this, and many of them were published!       We need true, dramatic, heartwarming stories, 1200 words or less, that take place at Christmas time in Canada. (Yes, you get paid - $200.00 actually)  Here are just some examples of topics: Festivals of lights, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, New Year's and other holiday traditions and events that come with a great story Christmas Traditions in your church   Adapting when the weather gets in the way (like the 2013 ice storms - we KNOW there are some great stories out there - do you have one?) Love and Romance at Christmas Acts of kindness and generosity - in the true spirit of Christmas Hockey!...and all winter sports at Christmas Family ties and reunions, children, and friends old and new   Heroes in our midst - at Christmas Neighbours and Community, and Christmas in Canada for new Canadians Animals at Christmas  Christmas in the north - First Nation stories Festivals of lights, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, New Year's and other holiday traditions and events that come with a great story Story submission deadline is May 30th.   For full writers guidelines and how to submit your story, visit my website, www.janetmatthews.ca or www.canadiansoul.com.   I wish you great success, and I really hope to hear from you!     Love to you, Janet Matthews Co-author of Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul & Chicken Soup for the Soul O Canada The Wonders of Winter janet@janetmatthews.ca PS: One more thing.
