Publisher's Call for Submissions: Manuscripts wanted
Word Forge Books is seeking submissions for an upcoming anthology scheduled for Fall 2008 release, tentatively titled Almost Perfect: Stories of Inspiration from Disabled Pets and the People Who Love Them.
We’re looking for true tales of courage, ingenuity, perseverance and inspiration on the part of companion animals that have become disabled either through birth defects or injury. Whether it’s a horse who can’t see, a dog who can’t walk, or a cat with missing limbs, we want heartwarming stories of animals who have overcome physical handicaps to live happy, productive lives with their human companions.
Of course, stories of special animals who have not only overcome their disabilities, but have also managed to perform heroic deeds as well, are especially welcome. We don’t discriminate against species: If you consider it a pet, we’ll accept it, regardless whether it’s a common pet animal such as a dog or cat, or whether it’s an iguana, zebra or snake. The only requirement is that you (or your human subject) considers the animal a pet, and that no laws or ethics have been broken in the relationship.
We are currently accepting submissions of cleanly edited stories, either about the author’s own experience or in an “as told to” format from a writer sharing another’s story. The latter will require a written release by the person whom the story is about.

DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO AUGUST 31, 2007.
