Open Call for Submissions

Hey there lovely authors and bloggers, are you interested in being included in a special anthology of stories about grandparents?  Would you like the chance to be published in an anthology with other thoughtful writers? 

I am seeking creative works including completed stories, essays, poems or creative non-fiction that celebrate the special relationship of grandparents.

As a new Grandma, I have been overwhelmed by the joy and love that my grandson has brought to my life and I want to dedicate a book to celebrate that joy. 

 Deadline for submission is June 15^th. Contributors will receive one complimentary copy of the print version, as well as discounted additional copies (at cost). Submissions should range from 750 to 2,500 words, and should focus only on the subject of grandparents. You can use this opportunity to begin or add to your portfolio of published work.
