Monthly Inspiration for Writers Contributing to Chicken Soup for the Soul®
Cooked up by Tracy Crump

Tip: Order Books at a Discount
Once you publish a story in Chicken Soup for the Soul, you can order books (any title) from them at your half-price contributor discount. You must order complete cases of 20 books, but you can request as many cases as you want, as many times as you want.
Sometimes, Chicken Soup also contacts past contributors with offers of smaller quantities of back titles (in an effort to reduce their inventory). In that case, you can get some really nice deals without overstocking yourself.
To order, contact Barbara Lomonico. Be sure to give her the exact title since so many of them are similar. Barbara will then send you a PayPal invoice. You can pay with a credit card and don’t have to have a PayPal account. Also make sure the PayPal invoice shows your correct shipping address. That’s what Chicken Soup will use to ship your books to you.
