Grandparent Stories - Reminder

Just a reminder that we're still accepting submissions for the Life Lessons from Grandparents: A Trip Down Memory Lane book releasing later this year.

Deadline for submissions is September 30th. Here are the details.


Here are some of my favorite quotes about grandparents. Maybe your stories will give us some new favorites!

The history of our grandparents is remembered not with rose petals but in the laughter and tears of their children and their children's children. It is into us that the lives of grandparents have gone. It is in us that their history becomes a future. ~ Charles and Ann Morse

A grandmother is a little bit parent, a little bit teacher, and a little bit best friend.  ~ Author Unknown

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life.  And, most importantly, cookies.  ~ Rudolph Giuliani

A child needs a grandparent, anybody's grandparent, to grow a little more securely into an unfamiliar world. ~ Charles and Ann Morse

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.
