SUBMIT YOUR LOVE STORY FOR OUR UPCOMING ANTHOLOGY!
Love has a way of showing up when we least expect it.
This anthology promises to be a heartwarming collection of true love stories from people who have found unexpected love - later in life, after loss, through reconnection, or in the most surprising of circumstances.
Stories of resilience, and the surprising ways love arrives when we least expect it.
Uplifting, intimate, and deeply human, this anthology will celebrate the many paths of love, and remind us that it's never too late for a new beginning.
We're looking for uplifting stories about remarkable journeys of unexpected love. Is that you?
The promise of this anthology is to inspire readers who may believe that finding a new, empowering and loving relationship is improbable, based on their experience of loss, disappointment or heartache in the past.
We welcome true, heart-centered stories that are uplifting and inspiring, about how love found you, even after thinking it may not happen ever... or again.
ALL DETAILS AND SUBMISSION FORM ARE HERE.
Submissions due by Wednesday, November 11, 2026
We will let you know if your story was selected by January 31, 2027
THANK YOU! Now, go write your heart out!
Eli Hans & Joseph Bennett
WHO ARE THESE GUYS?
In case we haven't met, we're Eli and Joseph, happily married for 26 years, business partners, and grateful to be living in the magical city of San Miguel de Allende, México.
Joseph is author of seven books, including his celebrated historical fiction novel about slavery called Jeremiah.
Eli is the award-winning playwright and performer of his mostly one-man show Out of The Blue.
We're both personal growth workshop and retreat leaders, actors, transformational theatre and life coaches, and passionate about making a positive difference in the world — especially through the written word.
WHY THIS, WHY NOW?
We have a unique and inspiring story about how we met at a mass commitment ceremony 26 years ago, and got married on the spot without knowing each other! It's been a journey of true, deep love ever since.
Every time we share it, people are noticeably moved and inspired, opening their hearts to the possibility of transformative love.
We've met many others with inspiring and beautiful stories about newfound love, and we're clear that the world needs love now, more than ever.
So, we're compiling a gorgeous, heart-centered collection of inspiring love stories to spread the joy, and remind others that love IS possible, no matter the circumstances.
We hope that your story is selected, to inspire millions. Can't wait to read it!
