A Large SliceŽ story is a true story that will uplift the human spirit by making the reader smile, laugh, shed a tear or send shivers up the spine. More than that, it will teach a lesson, or make a point in such a way as to make the reader really think, and hopefully move them to positive action in their lives or the lives of others.

With that said, A Large SliceŽ story IS a story - be it a story of courage, conviction, overcoming the odds, giving, acts of love, etc. - and must contain the basic elements of storytelling - a problem that needs to be solved, action, suspense, well-developed characters, interesting dialogue - and it must be written with a beginning, a middle, and an ending that leaves the reader feeling empowered. The stories chosen MUST appeal to all races and all religions and all political persuasions.

What A Large SliceŽ story is NOT, is an essay about your favorite teacher or an opportunity to express your views on politics or controversial issues. They are stories "of the heart, from the heart, and for the heart".

Note:
Please read our book descriptions carefully ie: as in the case of "A Large Slice of Life's Most Embarrasing Moments to Go, Please!", the empasis is on making readers have a hearty laugh.

We would like to emphasize that a Large Slice of our mission is to help needy children around the globe with proceeds from our books going to the wonderful charities we support. We want our authors to feel they are not only a member of our family, but also a part of that mission.
