Guidelines for a "Sound Sparks®" story.

1.  A "Sound Spark®" story is a short story spawned from a musical recollection or association.  It is a TRUE story that people can emotionally relate to; be it either through happiness, sadness, shock, anger or joy.  You tell us how the music defined, enhanced or revived a memory or feeling in 1000 words or less. 
"Sound Spark®" stories have feeling, but also something extra…an element that makes us all feel more connected. As the music always does.

2.  It is all about the music. There are millions of songs, tell us the one (or if you may have more than one song and story) that is your audio moment in the visual world.  We will put them on this web site for others to read and maybe get inspiration to write their story.

3.  Selected "Sound Sparks®" stories of universal appeal will then be published in a nationally distributed book now under development.  Authors will be notified and asked to sign a release upon acceptance.   Also include a bio-a short paragraph (of about 50 words or less) about you, promoting your latest book, project, business, life, etc.  It will be published in the book. Remember to put your name, address, e-mail and a phone number on your document.

4.  All submissions are sent via our website.  Please use a common font, 12 point size.  Either copy and paste into the main e-mail or attach to e-mail.  If you attach your story it should be formatted in Microsoft Word (.doc) or a Text document (.txt)
