Chicken Soup Book Call for Submissions: Just in time for the 2008 national conventions, our two "We The People" books mix politics and soul (yes, it's possible) for Republicans and Democrats.
Next, our new "Ultimate" series debuts in September 2008 with the first three titles featuring our favorite four-legged companions; dogs, cats, and horses. This new series will include full-color photos, great stories, and must-know info on each topic.
Although the deadline for material on these titles is March 15, 2008, we appreciate submissions coming in early.
