Chicken Soup for the Soul books are great. You can sit down with a cup of tea and read one, three, a dozen, or all 101 stories in each book at a time.
What’s also great is submitting to them. And they are looking for nonfiction stories about grandmothers! This can be about your grandmother, or you’re the grandmother talking about an experience you’ve had, or someone whom you think of as your grandmother (like an honorary grandmother), or about your mom/sister/friend becoming a grandmother. The topic is simply grandmothers.
A few guidelines:
- It must be nonfiction
- It needs to be written in the first person
- It needs to be 1,200 words or less

The best part: You don’t need to make a query/cover letter. They don’t ask for one, just title, your information, and the story! AWESOME!
Now, go forth and write!
