Call for Submissions--funny dog and cat pics!
http://www.guidetoliteraryagents.com/blog/Call+For+Submissions+Funny+Dog+Cat+Photos+Wanted.aspx
I am on the hunt for funny animal photos for a humor book project that's in the works. Do you have any you'd like to submit?
I can't give away all the project details just yet, but it's a humor book that combines pet humor and a little silly political humor. I am looking for animal photos—mostly dogs—that are in any way out of the ordinary. They can be wacky, like a dog trying to ride a bike; they can be amusing, like a dog wearing a Santa hat; or they can just be out of the ordinary, like a dog chewing up a VHS tape. Basically, if it's unusual (i.e., more than just a straight-up photo), I would love to see it. The photos do not have to be political in nature; please no captions.
If you love your dog/cat as much as I do and want to see them in a book released nationally, this is a good opportunity. If I can use your photo, I will let you know within three months or so (if the project moves forward). At that time, I will need you to fill out a permissions form for use of the image. There is no financial compensation, but if the photo is used, your name will appear as a credit in the back of the book (yay!) and your dog/cat will forever be immortalized in an awesome way.
If you have one (or several!) photos to submit, please send them to reesedn3a416@hotmail.com as soon as possible. Put "Pet Book" in the subject line. Easy peasy. Thank you in advance! This book, if it gets green-lit, will be tons of fun.
Thanks
Chuck
