Cat Tales Wanted!

Here's an interesting opportunity for any other cat lovers among you. The US-based Wildside Press, which also publishes Fantasy Magazine and Weird Tales, is launching a new magazine called Cat Tales. They are seeking fantasy and suspense stories of 500 to 5,000 words involving cats.

In their guidelines they say: "Cats must be portrayed in a positive light. No talking cats -- yes, this is a firm rule. Payment is 3 cents/word for First North American Serial Rights. Submissions go to: Wildside Press, Attn: Cat Tales editor, 9710 Traville Gateway Dr. #234, Rockville MD 20850, USA."

I can't see anything on the website regarding whether they accept electronic submissions, but if you wish you could always try sending them a query via their Contact Us page.

Good luck if you decide to submit a story to this market. Incidentally, the picture above shows my cat Ronnie.
