Postal worker and published author Jonathan Lowe would like to hear about your stories, and consider them for publication in an anthology of postal tales- here’s his request:

A book publisher I know has asked me if I’d like to compile a book of
postal stories for a book to be titled “FRAGILE, LIQUID, PERISHABLE & POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS—-True Stories From the Post Office.”  These stories would need to be either funny, unusual, or touching. Examples would be odd things found in collection boxes, odd requests for directions made of rural carriers, strange parcels presented for mailing, dog stories, stories of heroism. . .anything interesting or funny that happens in a post office or around postal workers. Entrants will get mention, plus a copy of the book when published, and they should limit the initial details to one paragraph, and provide an email address.  As editor, I will follow up on those which are the most promising for inclusion.  Submit to USPSbook@yahoo.com.

Jonathan Lowe’s books are available in the postalnews store, and you can read his reviews of audiobooks “to read while working” at Postalmag.com.
