Pet Markets

If you are looking to break into freelance writing, pet publications are a good starting point.

Pet magazines are often on the look-out for stories about people's animal companions or for general care articles. If you operate a pet-related business, you may be able to offer insights about your experiences.

I remember reading an article about proper precautions to take if you are a bird owner and experience a home fire. The author actually experienced this and recounted the events and what he learned from it.

Another writer who runs a home-based bird supply business regularly shares tips about bird care and nutrition.

Another reader wrote an article about allergies and pets in the home.

From the foregoing, you can see that there are many possible ideas you can draw from to create an article or story.

Check online for writer's guidelines for whatever pet publication you decide to submit to. Stay within required word counts and check for style of articles and stories before submitting. Photos often help in saleability and can lead to higher pay rates. If you submit photos, check requirements for these.

Fortunately, many publications now take electronic submission so the whole process is much easier.

Pet publications are a viable opportunity for newer and accomplished writers.
