2. Freeman-Smith, a division of Worthy Media, is compiling a book of short stories about the impact of God’s grace in our lives. We are looking for contributors! We want unpublished true life, first-person stories that focus on heartwarming and unexpected moments when the only explanation is God did something on your behalf. Stories can range from simple blessings to a major divine intervention; from everyday life to miraculous.If there is a compelling reason that you have written someone else’s story in third-person, you can send that to us, but there is less chance of acceptance. We will also require a permission letter from them. The length of stories should be between 1,000 to 2,000 words. The book is scheduled to release in 2014. Your manuscript will be due no later than July 30, 2013, but we would prefer it earlier. Stories should be submitted via email with a Word document attached. No special formatting, please. Please include your contact information within the document. We are offering a one-time fee of $75 for stories that fall within the requested word count. Additional fees will be paid for foreign and subsidiary editions if applicable. We will send you the Freeman-Smith licensing agreement upon the publisher’s final determination to include your story in the published book. Please feel free to forward this email to fellow writers. Please direct all inquiries and manuscripts to myself, Christy Phillippe, at .
