For my podcast The Voice Of Dog I'm looking for well-written, uplifting stories by furry writers. To help folks cope with the loneliness and frustration of isolation I'm releasing readings of new stories every day, which is a wonderful challenge — but I need stories to keep going :)

You can find the podcast at http://thevoice.dog/

Writers include Huskyteer, Mary E. Lowd, Kyell Gold, Kandrel, Ryan Campbell, Frances Pauli and a host of others, all of whom contributed one or more stories.

The daily production schedule means the stories must be shorter than 5000 words, they must be grammatically correct and consistent (typos trip me up when I'm reading the story, requiring more editing time) and most importantly, the story must end on a positive note. I want folks to be able to start a story and know that it'll help ease their anxieties, give them a bit of hope, humour or joy to look forward to every day.

Variety is the spice of life! All genres are welcome, adult and all-ages. Some of the stories I've featured are fables and allegories, some are furry reflections of the real world and or the real world itself with some fantastical elements, and it's all great!

I've made a handy-dandy template for story submissions, which includes all the information I'll need to introduce the writer, promote the story when it's posted, and get a feel for what the story is about: https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing

If you've got something that fits, you can get in touch with me on Telegram and Twitter, where I'm khakidoggy on both. I look forward to hearing from you and, hopefully, recording a reading of your story :)
