Tip: Attend Contributor ZOOM meetings
Chicken Soup for the Soul has started holding ZOOM gatherings for contributors around the time of a book’s release. All those published together in the book are invited. It’s a great time to meet fellow contributors as well as the CEO and editors and get updates on the latest Chicken Soup news. What a fabulous idea to promote fellowship among the writers!
And speaking of promotion, it’s always nice when contributors mention other writers whose stories appear in the book in which they’re published.
So, when your story is published in Chicken Soup for the Soul (and it will be!), take time to highlight other contributors you may know through social media or in-person contact. It’s one way to pay it forward for your fellow writers.
The Write Life newsletter offers feature articles from industry professionals such as Cecil Murphey, Liz Curtis Higgs, and Angela Hunt along with a monthly column from marketing expert Patricia Durgin. A devotion by Valerie Ray, Chicken Soup for the Soul tip from Tracy Crump, and Subscriber Spotlight round out the newsletter. Subscribers also receive the latest callouts from Chicken Soup for the Soul®, Guideposts, and other anthologies.
