Submissions wanted (dogs) (worldwide) | $250 per piece

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL 

Deadline: 31 March 2024

The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2024.

Our readers love our dog titles. They are so very popular, and you have so many great stories to share with us, that we do a new dog title every eighteen months or so. Chicken Soup for the Soul: Lessons Learned from My Dog was released early in 2023 but here is another chance for you to share a story or two about the member of your family who just happens to walk on four feet! This book will be published in 2024.

Our dogs enrich our lives so much and in so many ways. What would we do without them? We are looking for first-person true stories and poems up to 1200 words that highlight the unique personalities that dogs have. Celebrate your dog, or a dog you know, with a wonderful story about what he or she does. Stories can be serious or humorous, or both. We can’t wait to read all the heartwarming, inspirational, and magical stories that celebrate the dog and the magic that dogs bring to your life or the lives of your family or friends!

Please note: If you submitted at story or poem for a previous dog book and we DID NOT publish it, here is your chance to submit it to us again. If you submitted a story and we DID publish it in a previous dog book, please do not submit it. We will not publish it again.

HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTED TOPICS:

• Who rescued who?

• Insights from your dog
