Taking Submissions: CatsCast Fall 2021 Window

Deadline: February 1st, 2022
Payment: $0.08 per word USD for original fiction, $100 flat rate for reprints over 1,500 words, and $20 flat rate for flash fiction reprints (stories below 1,500 words).

The stories should have happy, or at least hopeful, endings for all featured cats. Humor is strongly encouraged but not required.
