I am always interested in new ideas for I Love Cats and request that you either send a paragraph or two about your idea or the finished piece. No outlines, please. Please do not send stories about cats that live outdoors. I buy all rights, since we copyright all stories. You must also sign a consent form, which spells out all resale questions.
Payment is upon publication.
Color slides are always a plus as I am usually in need of color photos. I have quite a backlog at the moment and we go to press about four months ahead of the publication date. If your story is accepted today, the earliest publication date would be 2,000, so please keep that in mind when submitting stories, especially seasonal ones. Please do not send any stories that have been published in other cat magazines or competing animal publications. I will return any unused manuscripts.
