You may send your submission as a Microsoft Word document or Google Doc. We do not accept written work sent as a PDF, photocopy, or picture. If you send your submission as a Google doc, please notify us by email so we notice it right away.

• Author's rights

  We have first serial rights to all work published in print and online (except for our blog), and exclusive rights until publication. Once published, all rights revert back to the writer.

• Additional info

  We publish stories, art, and poetry that examine the connection between animals and humans, and the ways we and our lives are more similar than people assume. Some topics and themes to consider, but of course, we are open to others: the process of an animal bringing out a character trait in a person (ie: Seabiscut); animals as living, interactive symbols or metaphors of human wants, fears, secrets, challenges, and change (ie: Life of Pi, Cujo); stories told through an animal's perspective (The Incredible Journey, Pax). If you're featured, you will receive a small monetary payment ($25 for the story, $50 for art) and your piece will be displayed on our website until the next publication. All contributors receive a free PDF copy of the upcoming issue (and print for a 50% discount) and a chance to be featured on our website (for fiction, non-fiction, and art only).
