What we look for in a Chicken Soup story
Chicken Soup stories inspire, uplift and genuinely touch people. They are
filled with vivid images, leaving the reader with a feeling of being "there"
- in the story - with the people involved. A Chicken Soup story may make the
reader laugh out loud - humor is healing - but all Chicken Soup stories
create emotion rather than simply describing it. They evoke Amazement—“Oh
wow!”
· An expanded heart or a belly laugh
· Tears of joy or overflowing emotion
· Chills up the spine or goose-bumps
· A lump in the throat
· A more exalted reason for being alive
· An “a-ha!” moment of greater understanding
