Your Heartwarming Stories Wanted For New Books
Azriela Jaffe announced at the Heartwarmers conference that she has just signed a contract with Adams Media, the publisher of the first Heartwarmers book, for TWO more heartwarmers books! The theme of the next book will be Heartwarmer stories on love, romance, and friendship. The second book will be Heartwarmer stories on triumphing over adversity.

Azriela welcomes your story submissions for both of these books. The love book will be completed first, so those stories should be sent within the next 2-4 weeks.

Submission guidelines:

  • Stories must be written directly for Heartwarmers, and not have appeared in print or online elsewhere, except for your own personal website or book.

  • Stories should be 700-2000 words in length. Include full name, mailing address and fax with each story submission.

  • If the story doesn't make you laugh or cry, it's probably not going to be accepted for the book!

  • You will keep the copyright, but you must be willing to assign exclusive rights to the story for one year after publication for any book, and 90 days after publication for any other media.

  • Final approval of accepted stories is made by the publisher, not Azriela Jaffe. She will work with you to edit and submit stories she believes should be included in the book. Authors whose stories are accepted and published in the book will receive $100 upon publication, and a byline at the back of the book.

Send all story submissions to Azriela Jaffe at azriela@mindspring.com, with "heartwarmer love story" or "heartwarmer adversity story" in the subject. Some of the heartwarmer stories in the book will run on the heartwarmer list, but not all, due to space constraints.
