Is the COVID life getting you down? Need an escape from reality? Picture chestnuts roasting on an open fire, the scent of pine trees topped with glittering snow and twinkling lights. Now go write a heartwarming story about it!

Pink Umbrella Books is excited to announce our intention to publish an original Christmas anthology, to be released in early November 2020. We are looking for previously unpublished fiction and non-fiction pieces between 500-7000 words. Stories can be spiritual or secular in nature, but should inspire the spirit of love and giving. Chop off your hair, sell your favorite watch, and channel your inner O. Henry!

We’ll be accepting submissions at pinkumbrellabooks@gmail.com through August 1, 2020. Please include a brief bio of no more than 200 words along with your work and a current head shot. Multiple submissions are accepted, and entry is free and open to all. Authors selected for inclusion will receive 2 copies of the anthology upon publication.
