Freelance Writer for Upcoming Dog Weekly

DESCRIPTION:

Nomad Editions Good Dog is an upcoming digital weekly designed to be read on tablets, smart phones, as well as your average computer. The weekly publication focuses on how dogs affect our lives, culture, and politics, while avoiding saccharine tales of canines overcoming the odds. The editor of Nomad Editions Good Dog is looking for pup-loving freelance writers with ideas to pitch that are original, current, well researched, and written in a personable and creative style. Stories will have a canine slant on topics that intrigue the general public – owning a dog is not a prerequisite for wanting to read a good dog story. How is human medicine advancing thanks to dogs? How are canines affecting design and architecture? What new ways are therapy dogs helping people? As well as human interest stories that stay away from the sweet and sappy, yet tell the story of how dog helped man or man helped dog.

Stories of interest include long form (1500-2000 word) features on a specific subject; short (500 word) profiles on notable figures and the dogs who inspire and help them to succeed; short (500 word) narratives taking a look at some of the fascinating jobs that involve dogs; hands on product reviews; and step-by-step DIY projects.
