CCW’s 2012 Prose and Poem Party will target Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Writers! Members and guests sign up to read one original story or poem related to writing. Listeners will jot down thoughts of encouragement or suggestion on cards for the reader. We’re encouraging everyone who reads a prose work to submit it to Chicken Soup for consideration in its latest Writers book. But, even if you don’t want to submit to this particular publication, here’s a great opportunity to get feedback on your writing!
From the Chicken Soup website:
“This is your opportunity to help other writers -- published and unpublished -- draw inspiration and learn from your journey to publication (including self-publishing and blogging).” The deadline date for story and poem submissions is June 30, 2012 .
Each entry for Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Writers should be about your setbacks, mentors, breakthroughs and success in writing. For more information, see “Writing Opportunities” in the last CCW newsletter for details on submissions or click on the website link above.
Chicken Soup wants to know:
- How did you overcome writer's block?
- Who kept you on the right path when you were ready to give up?
- When did you realize that the story in your heart was ready to be shared with the world?
- We want to know about your journey to publication, including self-publishing and blogging.
This is strictly clean, tasteful prose or poetry written for the mainstream or Christian market. Each reader will have exactly 5 minutes--MAX--to read. No introductions other than your name. Let your words stand on their own strength.
Meeting in The Gunnell House, Truro Church 10520 Main St. in Fairfax , Virginia
