Check Out Zamoof World

Writers Guidelines

Updated January/2012

Thank you for your interest! The majority of the writing for the magazine is done in-house or by our youth readers. For visiting writers, we presently have a couple of editorials that guest writers can submit to. Due to high demand and limited space, we generally do not offer repeat publishing opportunities to those who have already had published work in ZAMOOF! under the 'same' category (FEET UP or PET HOROSCOPE). Writers are welcome to submit to each of them.

Place of Residence: Although the magazine is distributed worldwide, we are only seeking Canadian writers at this time as a part of our content requirement in qualifying for Canadian grants.

Submissions Seeking:

  1. Feet Up Chronicles: Short narrative piece written for our parent readers; 300-375 words maximum 'Chicken Soup' type of a theme about parenthood; Written to either inspire, entertain or just light reading that they would enjoy about raising a family; Must be written about a true situation. Stories could have a seasonal theme to it like winter or summer or around a holiday event like Christmas or Halloween. General themes also welcome.  Openings available for publication in: 2013

  2. Pet Horoscopes: Written just for fun about pets or animals in general. Meant to be silly, humorous and can even have a bit of an educational slant. If writing about an unusual pet, like a giant panda bear, needs to be written as if the panda lives and interacts with the humans as a usual pet would...adds to the humor. Write from the pet's point of view (see linked sample). Each horoscope needs to be between 20 to 27 words. Openings available for Publication in: 2013
