Do you have a “Thin Thread” story to share?

Thin Threads ® (“thredz”) (n) – a moment, event, setback, crossroad, or encounter that connected you to a person, place or opportunity that changed your life for the better.

Mamapalooza Inc. & Kiwi Publishing invite you to contribute a true “thin thread” story about you or someone you know that will bring hope and happiness to all those who realize the possibility in each moment, and the unseen miracles that arise from overcoming what seem like detours and setbacks. By sharing special moments—surprising, loving and inspiring—these stories will touch people around the world and help them become open to the possibilities that exist in every moment we live.

We are currently collecting stories in the following category:

―Thin Threads of Moms & Grandmas

Submission Guidelines

KIWI is looking for true, inspirational stories that will make readers laugh, cry, smile or sigh. Stories should be positive, universal, and non-controversial. The "point" or "message" should be evident without preaching. Each story must be:

―Nonfiction

―Between 500-1300 words

―Edited and proofread to represent the writer’s best effort

―Capture the essence of a “thin thread” moment or event

―Evoke an emotion from the reader

―Submitted via online submission process

―Include a 65-85 word bio as you would like it to appear should your submission be accepted

If your story is chosen, a submission agreement must be signed by the writer and returned promptly to Kiwi Publishing.

Unfortunately because of the volume of submissions we can no longer respond to individual queries.

―Think diversity of stories within themes; Anthology and Special Editions appeal to a wide range of readers. Balance happy with sad, young with old, and remember nontraditional audiences as well (stepparents, etc.)
