I’m happy to get a story in this anthology. It’s a great theme/prompt, combining my love for animals and sociology. Can’t wait to see everyone else’s work!
Quick update: if you’ve been accepted to this anthology, I’ve sent out an email with some general info, as well as an announcement of a bit of a delay in publication (it’ll be coming out at Anthrocon now, rather than Fur the More). Please check your inbox!
Symbol of a Nation is available for pre-order! https://goal-publications-storefront.squarespace.com/shop/symbol-of-a-nation
[i]National animals, from fierce predators and raptors to peaceful herbivores and songbirds, mark great significance in the nations they represent, whether as an emblem of war and defense or a symbol of friendship and tourism.
But these mascots aren’t restricted to just nations. Look at individual states and towns, political cartoons, and even cereal boxes. Animals have been long-since used as a representation of pride and respect all over the world, and the stories contained in Symbol of a Nation show that pride in full glory.
Whether it’s the fennec of Algeria or the sable antelope of Zimbabwe, show your respect for the symbols of these nations.[/i]

This will be released at Anthrocon, but if you want to get your hands on the book early (and at a discount), definitely pre-order.
Since this is my book, I hate to point this out, but Amsterdam isn’t a nation. Can we change this to the fennec of Algeria or the kangaroo of Australia?
