Many thanks to everyone who expressed support for the idea of producing an anthology to raise money for the Guide Dogs For The Blind Association (http://newauthoronline.com/2014/09/17/possible-anthology-to-raise-money-for-guide-dogs/). Thanks go especially to everyone who reblogged my post and to those who have offered to provide stories for inclusion, or other forms of assistance.
I have been asked about the theme of the anthology (a perfectly reasonable question if ever there was one)! I suggest that stories in the anthology deal with interactions between dogs and humans. However I don’t wish to preclude stories about other animals either as sole characters or as part of an animal/human relationship.
I don’t yet have an editor and would be grateful if any editor who is able to offer their services free could please get in touch. As previously explained, I lack editorial expertise and do not have the capacity to produce the final product. I will, of course render any assistance possible, including liaison with Guide Dogs. However I need the assistance of an editor to progress the project.
Many thanks for everyone’s continuing support,
Kevin

One of the most special bonds between man and dog is the one where the dog provides assistance to enable that person to live as normal a life as possible. Guide dogs bring light to a blind person’s life and these very special dogs are funded by donations. Kevin Morris here on New Author Online is going to put together an anthology of short stories and poetry to support this wonderful cause. Apart from submissions for the book there is also other services needed to publish and promote the book. Can you contibute a story or poem and help promote. Please contact Kevin at the links in the post. An excellent project please support.
Many thanks for reblogging. I greatly appreciate your help in promoting and contributing to this project. Kevin ..
My pleasure Kevin and will get something over to you in the next couple of days.
Many thanks Sally. I look forward to receiving it.
