Monday Mentions: Cat Writers Edition
After the bag stuffing, we gather round and share who we are and what we do…and all about our pets, too!
We had a PAW-some time at the Cat Writers Association 20th Anniversary Conference! These are just a few of the pictures I managed to take–more surely to come. Next year join us in Atlanta with our new partner in furry fun: BarkWorld and MeowWorld Presented by the Cat Writers Association. You’ll get all the must knows about writing, publishing, blogging and social marketing (maybe with a dog or cat by your side!). Be sure and scroll down for a very short but fun video of the Halloween costumes at the Bag Stuffy Party.
Give away info–editorial guidelines, magazine samples and more.
Yep, my husband Mahmoud actually attended!

Monday Mentions is the mash-up-day of all the neato-torpedo writer links and videos, pet schtuff and bling and writer-icity crappiocca collected over the past week. There’s a new SIMON’S CAT video below and don’t forget to check out the THRILLERFEST video at the bottom, too. For new followers to the blog, welcome! and you can expect more cat and dog specific schtuff later in the week on Wednesday and Friday. Stay tuned for the voting on NAME THAT DOG and NAME THAT CAT contest for the Hide And Seek thriller pet characters, too!
