Not your mother's book

Editors of the popular Not Your Mother's Book anthology are looking for submissions for three upcoming books.

Have any fun, hip stories about dieting, dating or menopause?

Consisting of real-life stories written by individuals 18 years and older, NYMB is tailored for a mature-audience readership," says Dahlynn McKowen, CEO, publisher and creator of Not Your Mother's Books.

"Stories may contain language and situations akin to a PG-13 or TV-14 rating. While not all stories will fall into this rating system, the series will not focus on death/dying, cry-your-eyes-out sad selections, but only hip, fun, modern and very-much-today-type stories that will entertain our readers."

See NYMB's website for answers to frequently asked questions, including copyright, payment and deadlines.
