From Freckles to Wrinkles: A Silver Boomer Book continues the moments and memories of Silver Boomers. Remember the freckled, frolicing freedom of your childhood? Whether you galloped through glades with goats or explored in an armchair with Heidi and Peter's herd, the child who was you remains, disguised with graying curls and double chins perhaps, freckles tucked safely inside wrinkles. What truths does your youth need to proclaim? What wisdom could you impart to that nearly forgotten imp you were? We're looking for stories of lives lived large or of simple, significant sagas spanning from the Great Depression to September 11. Fiction or memoirs, essays or scenes, poetry, prose, or something in between, send us stories of ordinary lives in extraordinary times, values and philosophies fashioned from Volkswagen vans and discotheques, ideas, views, discernment, and perspicacity. What do you know now you wish you'd known then?

Before Submitting
We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close overnight. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Just remember ...

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For novel/collection publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript.  Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Include a SASE with all mailed submissions, queries, and requests for guidelines.
  • Be professional, patient and persistent.
