Call for Submissions

I have found that as a single mother, writing long pieces just doesn't work. I don't have long blocks of time. So I've had some success publishing short pieces, and here is a call for submissions for all you writers who, like me, keep it short!

Thin Threads® - The Moments that Made the Difference.

Kiwi Publishing invites you to contribute a true story, article, or anecdote that will bring hope and happiness to all those who realize the possibility in each moment, and the unseen miracles that arise from overcoming what seem like detours & setbacks. By sharing our special moments; surprising, loving and inspiring, these stories will touch people around the world and help them become open to the possibilities in every moment.
Thin Threads® Stories is a book series that embraces the best of the human spirit - the heart and instinct in each of us that leads us toward becoming who we were meant to be. These Thin Thread stories are a collection of moments, events or decisions told in personal story form, each showing how the course of our lives can be redirected for the better. The stories encapsulate our human desire to tell our own stories and to read and relate to others through their stories.
