Is your family full of prolific writers? Are you part of a
writer’s group? This is for you!
Create your own historical record of your family's or your
group’s progress and changes. Life changes influence our writing.
It’s not always easy to go through our previous work and see how
circumstances have made significant differences.
With a physical book in your hand, you can go back and see where you
were at any point in time. And with each new book, you can see how
you’ve grown.
The personal “stories”, what ever form they take, are
your record of life. When put in a book with other’s, it makes
a fantastic historical reference. Future generations can look back with
pride at their heritage. Our founder, Cyrus Mosier, would be honored.
Pricing will be very similar to that found previously in the
Guidelines for the Anthologies of Poetry in Memoriam or Guidelines
for the Anthologies of Poetry. Which applies will depend on the
number of authors and the types of manuscripts (i.e. poems, short
stories, or a mixture).
Gather together all the manuscripts you would like to have
printed. Send me a list of authors, the number and type of
manuscripts each will be submitting. Include your best estimate for
how many pages each manuscript will use.
For size guidelines, please see
The following are applicable to all submissions.**
1. You determine the number of authors and how many manuscripts they
may submit and if the subject matter should be restricted. (Keep in
mind that you need 50 pages to receive an ISBN.)
2. The manuscripts must be double spaced for stories or for
poems, in normal poem
format. Type only on one side of the paper. Clean photo-copies of
each manuscript must be submitted. Please keep your originals.
3. Authors may submit a biographical statement suitable for
inclusion in the book. We suggest it not be more than 30 lines long
to fit on a page and please double spaced them.
4. You may design your own cover or I can help make something
attractive. *Obviously, there is a limit to how many authors can fit
on the cover. A list of authors is included at the beginning
of the book.
5. Editorial decision takes about thirty days from time of
submission. If accepted, publication time is about sixty days from
receipt of the signed contracts until the book is released.
