Call for Grandparent Recipes

In celebration of the upcoming release of Life Lessons from Grandparents: A Trip Down Memory Lane, we want to honor grandparents here on this blog all during the month of November.

We're going to share recipes from grandparents, and we'd love for you to share with us. During the month, we'll include some recipes from the contributors of Life Lessons, but we'll also share some of our readers' recipes.

To submit your grandparents' recipes, please follow these directions:

Please send the recipe and information in one e-mail with a subject of GRANDPARENT RECIPE, so I can keep them all straight. 

You may share a little about the recipe and/or your grandparent if you wish - 100-200 words, and if you wish to share one COOKING tip your grandparent(s) gave you, please do. 

If you have a picture of the food in the recipe, send it. We'll post food pictures with the recipes. Be sure to include your bio at the end, with any links to websites you'd like to share with readers. So to make it a quick list - here's what to submit in a separate Word document attached to an e-mail:

Brief Introduction of Recipe

Recipe

Cooking Tip (optional)

Food photo (optional)

Author Bio

Website Links (optional)

We will start featuring these on the WIP blog on November 1, and run them all month long. We'll start scheduling them to post as soon as I receive them - in the order they are received.

Thanks for helping us honor grandparents. 

Call for Submissions

We are currently seeking submissions for the following:

Life Lessons from Grandparents: A Trip Down Memory Lane
To be released December 2011

Most of us have numerous stories we can tell about our grandparents. But let's dig deeper. What lessons - directly or indirectly - did your grandparents teach you that others could learn from too? We want to compile those stories and share them in this beautiful book you'll be proud to hand down to younger generations.

Submit your 1000-word or less story by e-mail - attached as a Word document - by September 30, 2011. You may include one photo per entry that may or may not be used as a black & white image within the book. Please attach photo as a jpeg image. Please put MEMORY LANE in the subject line of the e-mail.

One "Best of the Best" story will be chosen. The author will be featured as such in the book, and will receive a prize of $100. All writers of stories chosen will receive a bio in the back of the book, and a free copy of the publication.
