THIS HAPPENED TO ME

I Love You Roz Warren!

Part Two

I’m publishing a book and it’s all Roz Warren’s fault!

Last September, after reading an article she posted, I submitted a cat story to the publisher, Austin MacCauley,

Writers! Chicken Soup for the Soul is Looking for Essays on Topics from Cats to Eldercare

Accidently, I sent it to general submissions, not Chicken Soup.

A few weeks later, to my shock, I received an email asking if I had more stories for a collection or perhaps, a manuscript.

I did and sent that.

Weeks went by. I heard nothing and assumed it had been rejected.

I wrote Part One of this story:

I Love You, Roz!

Then, four months after the initial conversation, the publisher reached out again.
