Story submissions wanted (miracles, amazing coincidences, the unexplainable) | $200 per piece

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL 

Deadline: 15 September 2020

While the book is tentatively titled Miracles & Divine Intervention, we do not intend for this book to be for religious readers only. It is for everyone who loves to hear about miracles, amazing coincidences, and the mysterious and unexplainable good things that can happen to us.

Based on the submissions we have received we realized that many people thought we only wanted religious stories. Not the case! Please submit all your cool stories about those miraculous good things that happen in our lives. We want your stories to make people say “wow" and give them chills.

Covid-19/lockdown stories are welcome, too. We are all living through this together and if something miraculous occurred related to the disease or the lockdown or the financial impact of Covid, our readers will be very interested.

IMPORTANT:

• The deadline is September 15!
• If you already submitted your work to Chicken Soup for the Soul: Miracles & Divine Intervention, please do not submit it again. We have it in our system and our editors will read it and it will be considered.
• We have lots of room for non-religious stories. They have a good chance of getting in so please submit!
