"Parables for Life as a 21st Century Teenager" will be a collection of stories written by teenage students. At age 59, Stuart
Gustafson certainly cannot pass himself off as a teenager.  But the national author can read and determine which teenage-written
stories best embody the spirit of the
Parables for Life in the 21st Century series of books. The stories are expected to include a
modern teen-age narrative story, a moral to that story, and applications for using that moral in today's life as a teenager.

Teachers will receive the following support from Stuart Gustafson:
1. An introduction phone call from Stuart Gustafson to the teacher to discuss the project, timelines, etc. NOTE:
All phone calls from
Stuart will be done at his expense;

2. A minimum of three personal telephone calls to your classroom to discuss the project;

3. You may download the entire first book
Parables for Life in the 21st Century for free by clicking here;

4. Each student who submits a story (narrative, moral, and applications) will receive a personal letter from author Stuart Gustafson;

5. A $25 "stipend" for each story that is used in the publication of
Parables for Life as a 21st Century Teenager (Volume 1,
Volume 2, etc.).

6. An ideal time for this Creative Writing project is the second semester for school year 2007-2008. This allows Stuart time to
assimilate the stories in June-July 2008 for submission to the publisher.

a. There is no guarantee that a submitted story will be used in a
Parables for Life book.
