We are always interested in publishing guest posts on Animal House. If you have a story to share, a great pet photo or video, some really cool and creative pet product or just a pet-related event to announce, just email us at kendel@kennelkouture.com and if it's relevant we'll be glad to post it. The questions and answers below should help clarify our simple process:
What should I write about?
Anything related to pets. We are especially interested in article, photos, etc. on what is really happening in our pet's world!
Who is the intended audience?
Broadly, people who are interested in pets. Pets are our family and we want to share as much cool stuff and information as we can. We also want this blog to be as usable as possible for people speaking English as a second language, so please try to write at an 8th grade reading level.
How much do you want me to post?
If you just have one thing to say, we'll be happy to post it, and if you want to contribute regularly that's even better. Each post should be short enough that most people would read it in one sitting - if that's not long enough for you to explore an idea properly, consider breaking it into a series of posts.
Should I include images? Do you have requirements for these images?
Images are not required, but they often explain things better than a long string of words. Images do not need to be print-quality, and they don't need to be your own, but you must have permission to use them, and if they are not yours you must credit the owner clearly. Readers should be able to safely assume that everything not explicitly credited is the author's original work.
Who owns my posts?
The author of a post retains ownership, but anything we publish will be covered by the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license, which allows others to republish your work for non-commercial uses as long as they credit you as the author.
How will I be credited?
Every post by a guest blogger will have a line like "Guest post by Crazy Pet Lover" added, and be tagged with the posters name. You can email your friends, family and fellow pet lovers our blog address and they will be able to read your post!
How do I start?
Email us with a bit of information about yourself, and an idea of what you would like to write. If we think it fits, we'll ask you to send a first post.
