The journal Creative Nonfiction is soliciting essays about the emotional, ethical, biological and physical bonds between humans and animals. Among the particulars on the editorial staff’s wish list are memoirs and personal essays that explore the ways in which wild and domestic animals affect and enrich human existence. Another editorial goal for the issue is to include work by writers representing a wide variety of personal and professions.
Creative Nonfiction will be distributing a total of $1,500 in prize money to authors of essays accepted for its “Animals” issue. There is a $20 minimum reading fee for each submission, but for submissions that arrive with a $25 reading fee, the payment will cover a four-issue subscription to the journal.
Submissions for Creative Nonfiction’s “Animals” issue must be postmarked no later than Nov. 13, and "Animals" must be clearly indicated on envelopes and cover letters.
