'DOG DIARIES’  
Working Dogs Short Story
Competition   
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
 
Dog Diaries is an invitation from Ouen Press for writers to submit their own original short work of fiction. Winning authors will receive cash prizes and be published in an anthology at the end of the year.

Many breeds of dogs in all shapes and sizes like to work - freelance, fully employed, lone worker, team player or in secret. This is the overarching theme the judges will be looking for in the submissions.

As we all know, support and assistance from dogs comes in many different guises – in the home, in the field, in the street or off the beaten track – in an emergency or during more ordinary every-days. Employing the skills we teach them, or allowing us to take lessons from their positive qualities such as loyalty, lack of prejudice, and eternal optimism.

Add a dash of your imagination to this rich resource of inspiration and yours could be the winning entry.

'The ideal submission will elicit a strong emotional response - we have an opportunity here to highlight the incredible positive impact dogs have on human lives’

Deadline for entries is 15th July 2015 - full information and rules of the competition, which is open to writers worldwide, can be found at www.ouenpress.com
