Up Date Cat Anthology

Hello writers,

Arthor and cat lover, Tamara Thorne, has agreed to write the forward for the collection.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamara_Thorne

I am looking for speculative fiction with cats as central to the plot. I lack flash fiction, works of 50 to 1000 words long. I lack sci-fi and I lack fantasy.

I got a lot of fiction slanted for children, and cats talking to shocked people. I am fine with talking cats, it’s that everyone is always shocked.

We’d like to see some of these:

ghost cats,

zombie cat,

Frankenstein monster's cat,

time traveling cats,

pirate cats,

Southern cats,

Russian cats,

Egyptian cats,

Japanese cats,

cats of fate,

cats owned by famous people,

cats living off planet,

cats working in an old age homes.

I’d like poetry. I am open to cover art as well.

We are splitting the profits equally between the writers and me. We close submissions on September 30, 2011. We publish electronically.

Please send subs to: aliceingoreland@yahoo.com
Please state: “Submission: Cats” and title of the work in the subject line.

Name, address and phone number at the top. Spacing between paragraphs is nice. You can send your work as an attachment or in the body of the email.

I almost always get back to you in a week. If I do not care for it I will try and tell you why, and even suggest another place to submit, if I can.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to reading you!

Mari Mitchell
