Just got wind of a new market you might be interested in:
HCI Books, the Life Issues Publisher, published the first of many New York Times bestsellers in 1983 and is the original publisher of the phenomenal Chicken Soup for the Soul® series.
Named the #1 Self-Help Publisher by Publishers Weekly, we are guided by the philosophy that we "publish people, not books" and we consider anthologies a core pillar of our publishing program.
Each title in the ULTIMATE series features
- talented writers who express the texture and nuances of everyday life
- full-color photography that tells a story without words
- the insight and knowledge of top experts and mentors in specific topics of interest to readers
We're looking for "slice-of-life" stories and photos that are inspirational, motivational, humorous or thought-provoking. Here's what's looming, please don't procrastinate - we're already evaluating stories (thank you if you've already sent one!):
