When Ellen was 9 years old her parents wouldn't let her have a real dog, so she made one out of wire and started writing Wire Dog stories. Now Wire Dog stories are read, written and illustrated by children and professional authors and illustrators all around the world. Please read some of the stories at http://wiredogstories.com to your children or students then submit a story or illustration to wiredogstories@gmail.com Your submission will be published on the website and in the next printed copy of Wire Dog Storybooks available at lulu.com. Professional writers and illustrators can use Wire Dog stories to promote their other works. Students and children can use their own Wire Dog Stories to launch their own writing and illustrating careers. Everyone that contributes to Wire Dog stories has the right to sell. promote and sign their own copies of the printed Wire Dog Storybooks. Get involved. Send us a story or illustration today.
