And we are looking for humorous, interesting, unusual (or even disastrous!) stories of how couples met, courtships/dating, proposals, and weddings. You may use stories from your friends, parents, grandparents or your own life. Stories do not need to follow the model of the “courtship” movement. Just be sure they are appropriate for Christian families, and that they are true. We encourage you to submit as many stories as you wish, but no fictional stories, please.
Our Goal:
We are planning on compiling the stories we receive into a book that would be a great family read aloud. We want to publish a book that all ages could enjoy, that would be humorous and thoroughly interesting. What’s more interesting than stories from other people’s lives?! If your story is selected, it would be printed, with your name given proper credit in the front of the book. Also, assuming you provide your address, you will receive a free copy of the book if we use one of your stories.
A Few Details:
We suggest you check your stories for grammar, spelling, etc. Feel free to disguise anything you wouldn’t want published, as in names, locations and such. E-mail us your entries at info@cfpress.com
or Mail them to: Castleberry Farms Press, P.O. Box 337, Poplar, WI 54864
DISCLAIMER: (there’s always one, isn’t there?!)
We cannot guarantee the publishing of this book. Although we do plan to publish the book, from time to time, circumstances prevent us from carrying out our plans. Also, we reserve the right to edit all stories if we feel it is needed. We may not be able to print all stories received depending upon the amount of response. We will not be able to return stories. Please keep a copy for yourself if you wish, but by entering this contest, you agree to give us the copyright to your story.
Thank you so much for your help!
