Call For True Stories

HERO SERIES CALL FOR TRUE STORIES

Adams Media is publishing a new anthology series featuring uplifting, true stories about the experiences and relationships that inspire and enrich our lives — namely those with our mothers, our fathers, and ourteachers (also mother-figures, father-figures, and mentors). These slice-of-life stories will be written by people from all walks of life and provide unique personal insights into powerful universal truths, as well as honor the "everyday hero" in their lives. Each anthology in the series will be divided to highlight the variety of ways mothers, teachers, and fathers go beyond the call of duty to heroism.

We are now seeking submissions for the following volume: "MY TEACHER IS MY HERO." For this collection, we seek original and compelling testaments to the deep connection between teachers and their students, particularly heartwarming and humorous tales about truly amazing teachers who have made a significant impact on your life, or your children's lives. Wea re seeking people of all ages and backgrounds to write a moving story in appreciation of the teachers who inspired, motivated, and educated them. A teacher could also be a mentor or workshop leader, someone with whom you have had a moving experience that enriched your life and illustrates why this particular teacher is heroic.

Submission Deadline: SEPTEMBER 5, 2007

Payment: $100 per story, plus one copy of the book. Grand Prizes of $250, $150, $100 will be awarded for the three best stories accordingly.

Please carefully review the "Hero Series Guidelines" for complete details and submission guidelines.
