Ladies, I received this from Jessica at Mark Gilroy and thought I'd pass it along. I hope some of you will stop and submit!

Hi, all. We’re still taking submissions for our newest project, a fun, cheer-me-up book. We’re looking for a mix of lengths and genres—stories, poems, inspirational essays and devotion-style Bible studies, how-to’s, lists, activities, factoids, anything that will give the reader a little boost. Feel free to send in as many submissions as you’d like; we’ll send a note when we’re getting ready to close the book.

A quick rundown of writer’s guidelines:

· Stories should keep a sense of whimsy and lightheartedness, even when dealing with tough issues and difficulties. This will be a Christian inspiration book, but some portions of the material can and should be general life principles and humor.

· E-mail submissions are preferred: Send to jessica@markgilroy.com and/or mark@markgilroy.com. You can also send via post to: Mark Gilroy Communications; 6528 E. 101st St. Suite 416; Tulsa, OK 74133.

· We’d like to keep stories below 1,000 words, though longish stories (800-1000 words) are more than welcome. Shorts are also welcome.

· Upon acceptance, we’ll provide a gift of appreciation anywhere from $20 to $75, evaluating each piece based on length, etc.

Thank you for your writing. Please feel free to contact us with questions, comments, or ideas.

Blessings,
Jessica Inman
