Created out of the enthusiasm for the Writing for Animals program, Animal Writes will take you one step further on your journey in writing for animals. Whether you write poetry, essays, novels, or memoirs, this book will be your companion along the way.

In Animal Writes, you'll learn tips for how to portray animals empathically and authentically, as well as how to approach publishing and your readers. From language to craft to exploring your individual writer's journey, this book will provide the inspiration and tools you need to portray animals genuinely and compassionately in your work.
