“Gumbo for the Soul” Publications announces the establishment of “Gumbo for the Soul” Young Writers Division.

GFTS is issuing a call to youth and children - 10-17 years old - for submissions of essays for possible publication in a new anthology, authored entirely by young people.

Proceeds from GFTS anthologies by and for young readers will benefit the Gumbo for the Soul Scholarship Awareness Program. 

Though only 100 of the submitters’ works will be accepted for publication, all will be eligible for a random chance to win one of two $500 scholarship grants.

Titled “Gumbo for the Soul: If I Were Oprah, I’d …” (©2009 GFTS), the book will be published, released and presented as a gift to Oprah Winfrey on her birthday January 29, 2010.
