Welcome to the Chicken Soup for the Soul® Story Submission form. We owe most of our success to writers like you for the wonderful contributions of inspiration, hope, overcoming life's challenges and realized dreams. We welcome stories and poems from contributors of any age.

Your  stories and poems have the best chance of being used if you submit them through our website. Please do not send us any book manuscripts, unless through a literary agent, as these will be automatically discarded.

Please note:  Effective January 1, 2010 we will stop accepting submissions through postal mail or by fax.  After January 1, 2010, the only way you will be able to submit your story or poem to us will be on our website.

If this is your first time submitting a story or poem, please read our Story Guidelines.
