Guidelines

I Believe in Healing is a book project we’ve contracted with Regal Books for a February 2013 release.

We seek documented* stories of physical healings. We do not want recovery stories.

Do you have a story to tell but aren’t comfortable writing it yourself? Email us the details. If we believe your story has potential for this book, we will contact you for more information and will write the story for you.

We will edit every selected story for consistency and style. We will not change factual information. If you are unwilling to allow edits, please do not submit.

Submission Guidelines:

* Deadline for stories is May 31, 2012.

* Double-space your entry using 12-point font, Times New Roman, ragged right margin, in a Word document.

* Put your name, address, phone number, and email in the upper left-hand corner.

* We want stories of no more than 1,200 words. We will not consider longer pieces. We prefer first-person narratives.

* We’ll include your name with your story. If you want to use someone else’s story, get written permission, write it in first person, and we’ll credit both of you. We’ll include a brief bio of all writers.

* You may send an original or a reprint. (If a reprint, tell us where it was published and assure us that you own the reprint rights.)

* If we select your story, you’ll receive a $50 honorarium and retain reprint rights. You’ll also receive a free copy of the book.

* If your story makes the preliminary cut, we’ll notify you by September 30. The senior editor at Regal Books will make final decisions for inclusion in the book. We expect to notify winners by December 15.

*Because of the nature of physical healing and the skepticism involved, we prefer accounts you can verify with documents or witnesses.
