CONTRIBUTING WRITERS WANTED FOR BOOK ON EX-HUSBANDS

Editor seeks entries for a book of real stories from real ex-wives
about events that have taken place with their ex-husbands.

For those stories that are accepted, the editor will pay up to $200 for
stories of 1,000 - 2,000 words and $50 for short anecdotes (250-500
words) along with a free copy of the published book.

Stories should be real occurrences that reflect the real world and can
be angry, funny, tragic, sad, sexual, weird, shocking, sweet and even
romantic! They should not be boring essays or manifestos about the
divorce rate in our country but rather real accounts of real people.
I'm looking for submissions from "regular ex-wives" as well as
professional writers.

Some examples: So far I've received 5 submissions. One woman wrote
about having great sex one night with a man she divorced 8 years ago
and the interesting twist here is that their divorce happened because
the marriage was no longer working sexually. Someone else sent a story
about going on a blind date and the man turned out to be her
ex-husband. A third person wrote about the blinding anger she feels
every time she runs into her ex-husband and his new wife (the happy
couple lives right across the street from her!). A fourth woman
remarried but wrote about how she is having an affair with her
ex-husband behind her new husband's back. And the fifth? It is so
shocking that I'm just plain speechless.

Submissions can be sent electronically to editor Anita Diggs via
e-mail: anita...@aol.com
Deadline is August 30, 2005.

I look forward to reading your submission!
