As of 2023, over 500 million copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul books have been sold worldwide, making it the second most popular book series ever.
The series, which began in 1993, includes hundreds of titles translated into over 40 languages, one of the most successful book franchises ever. Each book contains 101 stories, and the number of submissions ranges from 3,000–5,000, therefore, the process is highly competitive. Several HACWN members, such as Charlotte Asperger, Jeanie Jacobson, SuZan Klassen, Rebecaa Thesman, and now Anne Rauth have been selected for the book.
Anne has been writing for only a few years for Christian publications but has been featured in Guideposts’ Angels on Earth, the latest Chicken Soup for the Soul: Just Say Yes, and other publications.
