Welcome Writers!

Hello! We hope we'll be publishing your work, and that we'll be friends for a long time! For your convenience, please refer to the following:

Submission Guidelines
Catnip Chronicles welcomes submissions from both professional and amateur writers. All submissions are subject to editing for clarity, grammar, and punctuation, if necessary. Potentially offensive material is discouraged and will not be used - ex: People who xxx are @#%^#% morons! (Unless they really are, of course, like animal abusers...) No politics, please.

Authors retain full copyrights to their materials. We want to help each other and work together, not "own" you.

All materials must be cat-related, of course, and may be from personal or professional experience (or, in some cases, imagination - as in humor, poetry, and short stories). Suggested topics include, but, are not limited to (in no particular order):

* Cat-human relations, cat-cat relations, cat-dog relations, cat-alien relations

* Health issues - care, prevention of illness, etc.

* Proper feeding - commercial food, natural foods, feeding "people" foods,
do’s and don'ts, etc.

* Rescue and adoption

* Feral cats, ferrous cats, fat cats

* Treats - what, when, how much, how often, as bribes...

* Behavior - encouraging, discouraging, training

* Spaying / neutering issues

* Veterinarians - how to choose, what to expect, relationships

* Any other reasonable cat topic

The Mechanics: Submissions should be 500-1500 words m/l (poems excepted), plus Author’s Resource Box (which strikes me as a silly name, but that’s what “they” call it) - if you want one. Please use MS Word, if you want to show emphasis or formatting, or plain text, if you don’t. We reserve the right - and have the duty - to edit any accepted submission for clarity, grammar, and punctuation.

If you'd like to submit a graphic (GIF preferred) or a photo (JPEG preferred) with your work, we'd welcome it - we encourage it! Please send us unedited photos - no frames, no shading, no special effects.

Please be sure to include a 3-6 line "Author's Resource Box" (again, if you want it) promoting or introducing you and including your URL or email, or both - your call. Writing it in third person is best.

Please email your submissions to , with photos or graphics as attachments. Same address for any questions.

Thank You!
Now, let's have some fun!
