New Anthology Series Postponed
We've had to place our new anthology series, similar to Chicken--yet different--on hold. That's the bad news...the good news for us is that we are having to direct most of our writing and PR energies toward our new book series Wine Wherever, the associated Wine Wherever wine tasting/touring iPhone apps and television show by the same name that we are developing. Plus, with the economy the way it is, this isn't the best time to begin a new anthology book series. You may review our Story Submission Guidelines, but we are not currently accepting submissions.

We'll send an e-mail to everyone on our e-Newsletter list when we revive the anthology series and will be needing your great stories.

Wow Principles #2: Creating Nonfiction Book Proposals that Wow Publishers! s now ready! It's time for you to get your own book deal! Professional writers and publishers agree that this guide will help you develop a winning book proposal. 

What people are saying about Wow Principles #2:

"In the days when Chicken Soup accepted book title ideas from the general public, Ken and Dahlynn always, without exception, submitted the strongest, most complete proposals. Their broad knowledge of the book publishing industry, coupled with their ability to identify and create solid, marketable book titles, allows them to work successfully with a number of publishers. I strongly recommend to those who desire a book contract to value and heed their advice; they know what they’re doing."
D'ette Corona, Associate Publisher, Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, LLC

"The McKowens have created yet another comprehensive e-book for nonfiction writers who are ready to "Wow" publishers. With over 500,000 books sold so far in their careers, the information they share is "from the trenches" and will help writers catapult their own writing careers."
Sheri McConnell, Founder and President of the National Association of Women Writers

What's Happening at Publishing Syndicate

Wine-Oh! Guide book coverFor wine lovers, we have created a fun and light-hearted wineries travel guide series--The Wine-Oh! Guide: From the Ordinary to the Extraordinary. The first book in the series is about California's Sierra Foothills. At 320 pages, the book focuses on the region's viticulture history and features 83 wineries, each with its own story/listing. Released nationwide in October, the publisher is Wilderness Press.

UPDATE: We've had to change the name of our Wine-Oh! series to Wine Wherever. It now has a website of its own: www.WineWherever.com. Here you'll find winemaker, winery owner and grape grower interviews, recipes, event listings (we're appearing all over the region) and other fun information. Be sure to sign up for our Wine-Oh! newsletter, too; you can only sign up for this on the Wine-Oh! site, not below (that's for our publishing newsletter).
