Because we are a nonprofit publication, we prefer to receive freelance materials as donations. Payment is upon acceptance. We do not pay for guest opinion columns. Please do not query by telephone. We do not assign spot news coverage to freelancers.
Profile submissions are particuarly welcome, especially if accompanied by photographs.
Although we may occasionally be receptive to a profile of a well-known subject, or a subject who has engineered a uniquely effective protest, our preference is to salute seldom recognized individuals of unique and outstanding positive accomplishment, in any capacity that benefits animals or illustrates the intrinsic value of other species. We are also particularly interested in those individuals who combine active concern for animals with active concern for fellow human beings. We require independent verification of the animal care conditions at facilities whose reputations and administrations are unknown to us. We prefer to consider photography and art submissions on a portfolio basis. Query first, with examples of your work.
