Submission Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in writing for Animal Wellness. As North America’s premier natural pet health magazine, we pride ourselves on providing our readers with the information they need to make wise health care choices for their animal companions. Our publication covers the entire holistic spectrum, from physical health issues to the emotional and spiritual well-being of our animals.
We welcome unsolicited articles and story summaries as long as they focus on holistic healing, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Articles can range in length from 500 to 1,500 words. If you are submitting an outline for a story, please submit samples of your work as well.
Before submitting to Animal Wellness, we ask that you familiarize yourself with our publication so that you have a good idea of the type of articles we publish. Consider topics that you know well and/or that will be of particular interest and appeal to our readers. Please ensure that any health facts or statistics that may appear in your article are accurate and come from an accredited source.
Please do not send multiple submissions (articles that have been sent to more than one publication) unless you have received confirmation that the story will not be used by another magazine. Although we prefer to use only original material, we sometimes publish excerpts from books. However, do not submit book-length manuscripts.
You can submit articles either through our online contact form or by mail to:
Animal welfare magazine
160 Charlotte Street, Suite 202
Peterborough, Ontario, Canada K9J 2T8.
Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number, fax number and/or email address on your manuscript. A brief biographical sketch of yourself is also recommended. If you are sending your submission by regular mail, please also attach a SASE and retain a copy of the article for your own files.
Photographs, where available, are also encouraged. They can be submitted either digitally (at 300 dpi) or as printouts or slides with your manuscript. Make sure photos are tagged and include your name, address, and phone number. All attempts are made to return photographic material, but it is advisable to keep copies of your images.
Our response time for submissions is four weeks. We only pay for unlimited rights. Unused material will be returned after careful consideration.
