How Are You Living the American Dream?

Choice Publishing Group (Choice) is collecting stories about living the American Dream for their new book Patchwork Path: Star Spangled Banner.

Choice is looking for original stories and essays from 250 to 2000 words about how you're living the American Dream. Each submission will be reviewed and considered based on creativity, originality, concept, and style. Reading will be continuous and submissions will be considered as they arrive. Not all works will be accepted. There is NO Entry or Reading Fee. The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2010. Authors receive $50 for each published story.

Submissions will be selected for publication in Patchwork Path: Star Spangled Banner by Choice Publishing Group president Tena Beth Thompson and bestselling author Gregory A. Kompes.

The Patchwork Path story collection titles are based on quilt blocks and the book covers have quilt and quilter themes. In addition to Star Spangled Banner (to be published in the spring of 2011), other titles include Grandma's Choice (2008), Dad's Bow Tie (2009), Friendship Star (2009), Christmas Stocking (2010), Wedding Bouquet (2010), Treasure Box (2010), and Mother's Life (2011). Additional titles are added each year.

Miss Thompson writes about her life experiences with humor. “If I can put a smile on one person's face for a second, easing their pain, I will consider my book a huge success,” she says with conviction. Thompson's book, Separation Survival Guide: When Your Marriage Catapults into Limbo, will be available soon.

Mr. Kompes holds a degree in English literature from Columbia University, New York, and an MS Ed. from California State University, East Bay. He is the author of the bestselling
50 Fabulous Gay-Friendly Places to Live and Suddenly Psychic: Core Messages to Enhance Your Psychic Journey, and the One Author to Another series.
