Monthly Inspiration for Writers Contributing to Chicken Soup for the Soul®

Cooked up by Tracy Crump

July 2026

Tip: CS Books Available in Audio

Years ago, I was asked to present programs about writing for Chicken Soup for the Soul at two nursing homes in my state capitol. A couple of residents asked if the titles were available as audiobooks. Their eyesight was poor, and they preferred listening to recorded versions of books. At the time, they weren’t.

But now, they are!

All of Chicken Soup’s new books plus some of their older ones are available (read by professional actors) through Simon and Schuster. Dozens more can be found on Audible and other platforms, including the Libby app that allows patrons to borrow audiobooks from their local library.

If you know someone with vision problems who would enjoy the uplifting stories offered by Chicken Soup for the Soul, check out their audiobooks.

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.
