Call for Submissions on ‘Funny Stories’ by Chicken Soup for the Soul [Books for Children]: Submit Entries by Nov 20!

The famous Chicken Soup for the Soul is inviting submissions on ‘Funny Stories’. Submit by November 20, 2023!

Since 1993, Chicken Soup for the Soul has been a socially conscious company that combines storytelling with making the world a better place. They began by being as inclusive as possible in the pages of their books, publishing stories by people of all faiths, nationalities, ethnicities, sexual orientation and gender identities. With these stories, our publisher and Editor-in-Chief Amy Newmark, and her team put out about a dozen new titles every year. See their over 250 books.

Laughter is the best medicine. And they love to publish your funny stories—in all their books. Their books filled with nothing but funny stories are always bestsellers, so they’re doing it again. This edition will be for publication in 2024 but they’re already looking for those funny stories you tell again and again. The ones that make everyone laugh.

They are looking for 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?

Chicken Soup says they can’t wait to hear your true stories. They want them to be silly, outrageous and hilarious, and they absolutely must make them laugh!
