Short Stories

We are always on the search for great short stories that lift and entertain.

We like children’s stories, both fiction and non-fiction.

We especially like stories that are based on personal experiences. These stories can be about overcoming a challenge or trial in your life, experiences related to parenting, stories describing how persistence has paid a dividend, stories on aging and the challenges it presents, and stories that relate humorous events or outcomes. Each story needs to keep the reader engaged through a beginning, middle, and ending.

We welcome stories around the theme “what matters most in life”. These stories should be non-fiction. Be sure to start with a description of a problem or issue that requires a choice in life. Include a personal experience that highlights what matters most. Keep the story moving along with writing that evokes emotion. Entertain us and lift us in the writing. These stories should be between 300 and 1500 words in length.
