In 2009, Publishers Weekly called pet books, "...so popular that
they appear bulletproof even in a down market." Two out of three American
homes have pets, and in 2012 owners spend $53 billion on their pet family
members. Publishers of nonfiction books and magazines are actively looking for
pet books and articles that will become their Marley & Me or Dewey the
Library Cat.

In this class, you will learn how to break into the pet book and
article market as a self-published or traditionally published author with a
variety of angles and options-memoirs, articles, blogs, anthologies, self-help,
inspirational, photo-journals, novels, and funny takes on human-pet
relationships. You will find out how to build credibility with animal lovers,
deal with hot-button issues, and access a platform of potential readers.

This class will include exercises to help you develop the craft of
writing compelling true stories about human-animal-connection for publication
or for pleasure plus a handout listing magazines and publishers that currently
publish pet books and articles. Small copy fee payable to the teaching artists.
