"Naples Dog Magazine delivers informative and feel-good articles about dogs; shopping sources for great dog products; and cutting-edge design and photography to an affluent base of readers. We cover all things canine in tropical southwest Florida, capturing the essence of living the good life with dogs. The voice of the magazine is playful, sometimes quirky (but never sarcastic), vibrant, curious, and friendly. Our readers-southwest Florida residents and vacationers-are enjoying their life "in paradise," and they want to read lighthearted, compassionate, and compelling articles and essays about dogs in paradise, too. Each issue also features several articles about shelters and rescue groups in the area, as well as ongoing coverage of the local humane society." Welcomes new writers. "We welcome experienced writers and talented new voices. We'd love to hear from writers familiar with the region, but we're also open to writers anywhere in the nation who have a grasp of the luxury dog niche." Circ. 10K. Quarterly. Pays upon publication. Publishes ms 1-4 months after acceptance. Buys first N.A. serial rights. Occasionally accepts reprints. Responds 4-6 weeks. Sample $5.99 (email info - at - naplesdog.com for details). Subscription $20; $34 Canada; $38 other. Writers' Guidelines can be found at http://naplesdog.com/contact.htm
CURRENT NEEDS: We're always looking for interesting personal essays, well-researched nonfiction articles, occasional craft or how-to features, book reviews, personality profiles, and other stories relevant to our dog-adoring, southwest Floridian readers. Pays $25-$250 for 325-1500 words depending on the length and complexity of the article. "Send your queries or finished manuscripts by e-mail only to editor - at - naplesdog.com. For consideration, please send us a great letter that exemplifies your style of writing. Queries should be very specific about the article you'd like to write (i.e., the subject, tone, sources for information, approximate word count, and relevance to our readership). Tell us what makes you a good fit. A short bio or resume, with a list of publications, would be appreciated. Please provide two writing samples (Word attachments, PDFs, or URLs are acceptable). Include your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address on each page. Finished manuscripts should include a word count. If you would like us to consider previously published work, please note the date and title of the original publication. We'll respond by e-mail to your submission, usually within four to six weeks. If interested in further discussing your article idea, we'll follow up by e-mail or telephone. Because of the volume of submissions, inquiries about the status of your query will not be answered."
PHOTOS/ART: We're always interested in dog-related photos and art from aspiring or established photographers and artists. Contact editor - at - naplesdog.com for more info.
HINTS: "As many editors have said before, please READ our writers' guidelines. (Don't skim them and assume you can wing it.) This is not a general interest dog magazine. Our audience is very specific: affluent southwest-Florida dog lovers looking for a newsy, lighthearted read that's relevant to this region. Keep in mind that Naples Dog Magazine readers don't consider 'pampered' to be a negative word. As a rule, we're not interested in profiles of dog trainers living in Kansas; tributes to dogs no longer with us; articles about celebrities with dogs but no connection to Florida; or technical tips on dogsledding in Alaska. On the flip side, we'd love to hear about a dog trainer who moved to Florida from Kansas and has climate-specific training tips; or a celebrity who vacations regularly in southwest Florida with her Bichon Frise; or what happened when you tried to teach your dogs to 'dogsled' on a sandy beach. What else do we like? We have covered pool safety, a feature on why we love old dogs, a photo essay of dogs on boats, a light piece about the Chinese Year of the Dog, an even lighter photo album of a doggie wedding, a 'beauty makeover' of a shelter dog, and more. We're always interested in hearing from writers willing to investigate (or try on their own pooches) the latest trends, products, or fashions. Regardless of where you live, if you can make your topic universal and compelling to dog lovers everywhere or--better yet--do a little digging to make a regional connection, we'd love to hear from you. Writers who can meet deadlines and who grasp the lighthearted, friendly tone we're looking for will certainly receive repeat assignments from Naples Dog."
