Do you have an Inspirational ‘Breakfast’ Story?

Earlier this morning I was looking through my copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul® Recipes for Busy Moms by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen with Mr. Food (you may be familiar with his, “OOH It’s So Good!!” saying) when the thought hit me, “Why not include inspirational stories from others about breakfast?”

So, I’m currently seeking stories for inclusion in my new cookbook, The Joy of Breakfast. I am looking for 10 to 12 first-person true stories focused around, you guessed it, breakfast. I am particularly interested in inspirational, heart-warming, humorous and/or powerfully moving stories about ordinary people. If you’ve got a story, I want to read it.

You can submit your story of no more than 1,000 words to cookbook (at) wffrederick dot com. Please include your story in the body of an email - no attachments please. The deadline for submissions is Friday, July 30, 2009. If your story is selected, you will be a published author and your biography will be printed in the book – if you so choose. As the author, you will retain the copyright to your story.

I am unable to compensate you monetarily, but you will receive 5 free copies of The Joy of Breakfast to give to your family and friends.

I can’t wait to read your stories!
