New: "Write About Pets"
Award-winning animal book authors share over twenty years of experience in a new, one-of-a-kind, three-part, pet writing course.
Online, March 13, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Pets live in two out of three American homes, and "pet parents" want to write about their four-legged family members. Allen and Linda Anderson, best-selling, award-winning Angel Animals series authors and writing instructors, have tapped into twenty years of experience writing about pets to create a three-part, comprehensive, downloadable course. Woof, Meow, Write, Publish: Writing about Pets and Animals for Love and Money offers trade secrets and practical techniques for aspiring pet writers. http://www.allenandlindaanderson.com
Allen Anderson says, "We think others could enjoy and profit from the fulfilling writing my wife Linda and I have been fortunate to do together. People can't find this course's materials in any other books or articles. That's because writing about pets has its own set of rewards, challenges, and obstacles."
Woof, Meow, Write, Publish: Writing about Pets and Animals for Love and Money is published by Angel Animals Network. It includes a 150-page manual, a 112-page workbook, and a 10-minute audio recording. The course is available worldwide for downloading online.
Allen and Linda Anderson have professionally designed their pet writing, publishing, and marketing systems in an easy-to-follow course that serves as entry into the $50 billion pet product and service industry. The course's manual includes eighteen modules of detailed, step-by-step instructions for writing, publishing, and marketing pet memoirs, essays, personal experience stories, novels, nonfiction books, and articles. The comprehensive workbook includes techniques, exercises, and prompts for having fun while honing the skills and craft of communicating ideas, observations, and emotions to others. "Straight Talk about Pet Writing" features the authors' humor and practical suggestions that draw upon their twenty years of teaching and coaching writers to achieve writing goals.
"Pet writers allows people to connect with others who love animals as much as they do," says Linda Anderson. "Animal lovers and people or companies that provide pet goods and services can use writing to get in touch with their markets. Good pet writing is always in demand, because animals are an integral part of most of our lives. Writing is also healing and therapeutic when a person wants to honor the loss of a beloved animal companion."
People are passionate about caring for and giving respect to animals. So it is in a writer's best interests to be aware of the hot button issues in animal welfare. That's one of the reasons why the Andersons believe it is important for prospective pet and animal book authors to take a professionally designed course that is specific to writing for this emotionally-charged genre. Woof, Meow, Write Publish addresses issues and concerns unique to writing pets and animals.
