The other day my husband went out onto the front porch to get the mail out of the mailbox.
"Did you order something?" he asked, handing me a fat envelope.
"Oh my gosh," I exclaimed, feeling excitement from my toes to my eyebrows. It's the book!
A fellow blogger, Linda from www.writefromtheheart.blogspot.com/ , graciously alerted writers about Kiwi Publishing accepting manuscripts. I checked out their website and decided to submit a story.
Stacey K. Battat is co-founder of Kiwi Publishing, company President, and Editor-in-Chief of the Thin Thread inspirational book series. When I first heard by e-mail, directly from Stacey, she indicated my story was one of hundreds received. Then, she noted a final 20 stories had been selected, and mine was one of the them. The book, however, could publish only 10 stories for the final edition.
Of course, I waited anxiously to see if my story would make the final cut. When I received news that it did, it made me very happy. Compensation for the story was $100.
So that's the story of my experience "Thin Threads of Faith and Hope." If anyone is interested in reading more about this publishing company and the kinds of books they publish, check out their website at Kiwi Publishing.
After I opened the envelope and looked through the book, I "toasted" with a cup of raspberry tea and a small piece of Italian bread with bitter orange marmalade.
WHAT PUBLICATION, IF ANY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE YOUR WORK PUBLISHED IN?
