Submissions wanted (funny stories) | $200 per piece

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL

Deadline: 30 June 2022

The deadline for submissions is JUNE 30, 2022.

Laughter is the best medicine. And we love to publish your funny stories—in all our books. Our first three books filled with nothing but funny stories were all bestsellers, so we’re doing it again, for publication in 2023. We’re looking for those funny stories you tell again and again. The ones that make everyone laugh. The ones that make you laugh just thinking about them!

Share your funny stories about something that happened to you in your life – in your relationship with a partner or spouse, a parent or child, a family member or friend, at work or at home – that made you and the people around you laugh out loud. Did you mean for it to be funny? Did the other person mean to make you laugh? Did a situation just get out of control? Did a misunderstanding turn into a comedy of errors?

We can’t wait to hear your true stories. We want them to be silly, outrageous and hilarious, and they absolutely must brighten our day and make us laugh! Good clean fun—and sometimes a tiny bit risqué too.

Here are some suggested topics but we know you can think of many more:

• Slips of the tongue
• Misunderstandings that led to funny moments
• Weird habits
• Pranks
• Pet behavior
• Embarrassing moments
• Wedding mishaps
• Funeral foul-ups
• Holiday meltdowns
• DIY projects gone bad
• Kitchen/dinner party disasters
• Sports catastrophes
• Family foibles
• Zany vacations
• Moving-day mayhem
• Travel turmoil
• Marriage madness
• Workplace mishaps
• And any other hilarious, funny stories that happened in your life

If your story was already published in a past Chicken Soup for the Soul book, please do not submit it. We will not republish it. If you submitted a story to one of our previous Chicken Soup for the Soul book titles and we did not publish it, please submit it to us again if you think it will fit in this title.
