Are You a Divorced Woman Writer?
Then you might consider submitting a story to the forthcoming A Cup of Comfort for Divorced Women.
“Divorce in the 21st century should come with an instruction manual, a release valve, and a support system. This anthology will serve essentially those three purposes, in the form of comforting, insightful, and inspirational stories about surviving and thriving during and after divorce.”
A Cup of Comfort for Divorced Women seeks “uplifting, contemporary stories on a wide range of topics of importance to divorced women—including but not limited to: dating, children, relationship with ex, in-laws, finances, friends, solitude, personal transformation, healing, revenge, mending fences, the ex’s new wife or lover, empowerment, rediscovery of self.”
Most, if not all, of the stories published in the book will be written by women who are or have been divorced. Stories can be poignant, irreverent, humorous, witty, or wise.
Submission deadline: November 10, 2007
$500 grand prize; $100 each, all other published stories; plus copy of book
Stories must be true, original, positive, narrative essays (creation nonfiction), and 1,000-2,000 words. Entrants pay no fees.
See Writers’ Guidelines.
P.S. Yours truly has a piece in the forthcoming A Cup of Comfort® for Single Mothers (March 2008)…. I’ll give you one wild guess about what it’s about!

Yes, that is me on the cover, in front of my editor's sofa, in a precarious pose... You can get your own copy here:

I have a piece being published in Chicken Soup for the Divorced Soul this Spring — so I’ll give this a go as well with something else.
Thanks for the heads-up!
Kvetch and Rachel - congrats and congrats! I submitted to both of those books, but alas it wasn’t in the cards for me on those. (But I did get my first published piece in the CS Working Mom’s book coming out in a week!) Maybe I’ll give this a whirl…Thanks for the link.
