The Rocking Chair Reader
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: "Something Old, Something New"
Theme: "Something Old, Something New" will feature
60-70 true stories that revolve around weddings and/or
marriages that take place in America's small towns. We
are searching for stories about love and happiness,
humorous antidotes, and everything in between. In
addition to family stories that have been passed down
from generation to generation, we hope to harvest the
more personal stories that until now have been held
close to the heart. We will consider any story—written
from anyone’s point of view—as long as it takes place
in a small town in America, is a true story, involves
falling in love, the promise of wedding bells, and/or
speaks to the Reader of love and marriage. Small town
weddings are steeped in family and community
traditions and we’d be honored if you shared those
traditions with us. (Questions and queries welcome.)
Deadline: February 28, 2005
At this time, we are excited to inform you that we are
also collecting stories for the first Christmas book
in The Rocking Chair Reader series. Please specify
which submission you are targeting by typing the words
“Something Old, Something New” or “Smalltown
Christmas” in the subject line of your submission.
The deadline for “Smalltown Christmas” is April 2005.
