Single Moms: Let Your Voices Be Heard!

As Oprah Winfrey has often said, parenting is the most difficult and
important job in the world -- even more so for single mothers, who
single-handedly face all the usual parenting challenges, plus a whole
set of unique ones. While being a single mom can be tough at times, it
also brings many joys and rewards, and the positive aspects and outcomes
of single motherhood often go unrecognized.

The bestselling Cup of Comfort (Adams Media) book series is
(desperately) seeking personal stories for publication in an anthology
for and about single mothers. We want slice-of-life stories that read
like good fiction and both entertain and move readers. Any topic and any
"voice" goes, as long as the author creates an authentic and compelling
story. Stories can be humorous or poignant or both, and must be
original, positive, and based on real people and actual events.
