Writing for Animals Creative Writing

A unique anthology of articles and essays to inspire animal-themed creative writing.

Despite all we know about the sentience of animals, society tends to view and treat nonhuman animals as lesser creatures. And for society to change its views, writers must change their views.

This book helps writers rethink their approach to animals, from crafting point of view to giving animals realistic voices. This collection of essays, from award-winning authors and academics, helps lead the way forward.
Writers face many questions and choices in their work, from how to educate without being didactic to how to develop animals as characters for an audience that still views them as ingredients.

In this book, writers will find myriad voices to assist them in writing about animals, from tips about craft
to understanding the responsibility of writing about animals.
