The Diamond Valley Writers' Guild would like to announce that we will be creating an anthology.
Theme
Animals: wild or domestic, beloved pets or rascally pests, even mythical creatures. The animal must be integral to the story or poem, not merely a cute, cuddly cameo.

Content
Previously unpublished prose and poetry.
No excerpts from longer works accepted.
Exception: If the piece has only appeared in an issue of Straitjackets Magazine.
