CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Midwest Stories
Shapato Publishing is accepting submissions for the third book in the Midwest trilogy, tentatively titled, Amber Waves of Grain. If you have a funny, dramatic or heartwarming story to tell, we'd like to see it. The Chicken Soup for the Soul series is a good example of what we're looking for. Approximately 500 – 1600 words. Deadline is April 1, 2010.

Also in the Works:

North Dakota Stories
If you live or have lived in North Dakota, Shapato Publishing is looking for true, uplifting stories about life in the Legendary State. Tentatively titled, Knepfla Soup is Better the Next Day: Stories of Life in North Dakota (With a Few Recipes Thrown In), word count is approximately 500 – 1600, with a deadline of April 1, 2010.


This is a small publishing company, so compensation at this time is minimal ($10-20 per essay). However, if your story is chosen for publication you will also receive a short author bio to be included at the end of your story, as well as one free copy of the book. Authors may also purchase as many copies of the book in which their work is published at wholesale price, which is generally 40% off the retail price.

And you'll have the publishing credit, of course, for your writing résumé!
