CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS
Editor looking for manuscripts from people in their upper-fifties
through sixties who have something to say about their life experience.
Consider any of the following jumping off points (or none of them) to
write a cohesive, emotionally engaging essay or short story. (Maximum
1,500 words.) If writing in story form, the events and people must be
real.
True stories about your youth, heart-warming reminisces, pathos, flower
power, Haight-Ashbury, Viet Nam, Woodstock, the Beatles, etc. Dynamic
individuals who changed your life, were your role models, who showed you
something you had never considered, who changed the course of your life.
What wisdom, what insights, and what knowledge have you gained?
What changes in perspective about business, religion, marriage, family
people in other countries, and the planet earth have you experienced?
What have you accomplished that you, in your youth, never knew you
would? What process/es brought that into being?
What paranormal experiences have you had? If you had the opportunity to
say something to someone who is no longer here, what would that be?
What do you hold to be unshakably true that you didn’t know 40-45 years
ago? How are you different from or how are you the same as you were
40-45 years ago? What things that you used to disagree with your
parents about do you now agree or what things that you used to agree
with them do you now disagree?
What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? What is the most
beautiful piece of music you’ve ever heard? What was your favorite
television show when you were ten to fifteen years old? What’s your
favorite television show now? What is the greatest movie ever produced?
What’s the best novel ever written? What’s the best nonfiction book
you’ve ever read?
Tell about the picture you had of your life as a child and how it has
actually unfolded. What is lovely about that?
Please do answer or address the following question:
If you could say or express one thing that you believe, in your deepest
heart of hearts, would change the world for the better, what would that
be? Be honest and tell your truth!
Payment at present is shared revenue of profits, specifics to be
determined by number of participants, and other minor details.
Send via email, either in the body or as attachment (Mac or RTF/TEXT)
to:
sus-@alighthere.com. Put SUBMISSION: “What I’ve Learned” in subject
line. Failing to do so may cause your manuscript to be lost as spam.
I thank you beforehand for your heart-felt work,
Susie Wolfington, Assistant Editor
