From time to time we hold events to encourage authors who write stories about Pets–Non-fiction or Fiction. We believe deeply that educating pet owners concerning the responsibilities of pet ownership is ultimately the answer to the problems for pets in need, and pet advocacy organizations who struggle year after year rehabilitating pets mentally and physically—to find and place them in forever Homes.
We need pet’s stories told—-most of the pets who find their way to rescues and shelters have an unknown past. We need to help those animals tell their story. We need to share experiences bonding, and connecting with our pets through the creative minds of authors who deserve a chance to have their pet tales published. We challenge unpublished Arkansas Authors to submit a manuscript about Dogs or Cats. (between 2000 and 75 hundred words) in PDF or Word File to: Lfloyd10@cox.net We will sponsor an editor—an illustrator and a publisher—all of whom we have employed for many years—and recommend highly. We will choose one submitted manuscript and will guide the author through the process–to publication. We will publish 100 copies of the book for the author and guide them toward promotion.
Mr. Larry Floyd–Editor at Turnkey Communications will select the winning book.
The Illustrator for the author’s book will be selected by collaboration with the winning author and Larry Floyd.

1. Sherry Brown Judy
