Who Are Your Chica Peeps?
 
Chica Peeps: a group of women who anchor, guide and nurture each other, often through humor; a sisterhood of strength and support. In the English language, there is no word that describes a group of female friends. We intend to have the name Chica Peeps fill that void and become the household expression for groups of women that support and nurture each other. You've seen them walking together, or in the local coffee shop. You've heard their shrieks of laughter, raucously celebrating an event in a restaurant. Women who belonged to Amish quilting circles of the 1800's and Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha of "Sex and the City" fame all share Chica Peep bonds.

Are there Chica Peeps in your life?

We are seeking submissions for a soon-to-be-published short story anthology ~ true stories, written from the heart, about three or more female friends - what an enduring tribute to your friends...your Chica Peeps! Our upcoming published anthology of short stories, "Who Are YOUR Chica Peeps?", offers women the opportunity to, in their own voice, share the bonds they have formed with groups of friends who nourish, guide and anchor them, often through humor. Female friends shape who we are and who we are yet to be. Our relationships with men and family are not enough. Sometimes it takes a crisis to make us realize that friends are the best medication. At every stage of life, close female friends support each other. It's the nature of women to gather and sit in a circle; we've done it since the beginning of time...

We want your story, we'll work with you on any revisions or editing. Your story is what's important, not your writing style. NO FEE to submit OR appear in anthology!
Deadline: October 01, 2011.   UPDATE from the editor, Velya Jancz-Urban:

Please DISREGARD the October 1st deadline. So many new women are hearing about Chica Peeps on a daily basis that we extended the deadline in order that they have time to submit.
Thanks, and can't wait to read your stories!
