Call for Entries: The 2017 Animals, Animals, Animals Book Festival

CHICAGO _ The 2017 Animals, Animals, Animals Book Festival has issued a call for entries to its annual competition honoring the best stories from the world of dogs, cats, horses, wild beasts, birds, insects, reptiles and other creatures great and small.

The Animals, Animals, Animals Book Festival will consider works in the following categories: dogs, cats, birds, horses, insects, fish, reptiles, children’s books, young adult, working animals, wild card (anything goes!), pets, jungle, farm, city animals, biography/memoirs, talking, photography, horror, science, unpublished manuscripts, and spiritual/religious. All entries must be in English and there is no date of publication restriction.

The competition honors general excellence and the awards are intended to draw public attention to worthy selections during the busiest season for book sales.
