These are NOT recycled guidelines. WritersWeekly.com only features original market listings, received from and approved by the editors at each publication.

Animal Wellness, Feline Wellness, 107 Hunter St. E., Unit 201, Peterborough, ON K9H 1G7, Canada. P1-866-764-1212. F(705)742-4596. Email: ann-at-redstonemediagroup.com. Website: http://www.animalwellnessmagazine.com. Ann Brightman, Managing Editor. "We focus on holistic and integrative health care for dogs and cats -- including diet, behavior, emotional well being, health conditions, fitness, lifestyle, trends, etc." 30%-40% freelance. Welcomes new writers. Circ. over 1 million. Animal Wellness is bi-monthly; Feline Wellness is quarterly. Pays upon publication. Publishes ms on average 2 months after acceptance. Buys first rights only. No reprints. Responds in about a month. For sample, call or visit the website. Subscription $19 US; $24 Canadian; digital subscription is $12. Guidelines available online at: http://www.animalwellnessmagazine.com/p/awsubmit.htm.
CURRENT NEEDS: "Good writers who have an interest in and some knowledge about dogs and cats and natural/holistic health. We recently launched Feline Wellness so are looking for good cat writers. Pays $50-$160 for 500-1500 words, depending on length and content." Submit via email, with detailed query, writing samples, and bio.
PHOTOS/ART: "Varies, depending on the article."
HINTS: "The most common mistake is writers not familiarizing themselves with our publications before submitting something. I highly recommend people read several back issues to get an idea of the type, tone and length of articles we publish before submitting a query or article. Having to deal with queries from people who obviously have never read our magazines is time-consuming and even insulting."

"For 30 years, Arc Poetry Magazine has been bringing great poetry to readers in Canada and beyond. At Arc we find the brave new voices. We dig up the dead and too-soon-forgotten.

We suggest art be shot with a color separation guide (such as Kodak Q13 or Q14) to ensure accurate color reproduction." Payment is usually included in the feature fee.
HINTS: "It is essential for writers to be familiar with our magazine. Also, we work about six months in advance, so pitches tied to events happening in a month or two will likely be rejected."
