Sabre Lake Publishing has issued an open call for its winter anthology, organized around the theme 'We're All Mad Here.' The editors are soliciting creative nonfiction, flash essays, and poetry that answer a deliberately narrow question: what is it about this cat—one particular cat, known and named, living or lost—that drives the writer mad with affection, devotion, delight, or frustration? The premise is not a general appreciation of felines but an examination of a singular attachment, and the editors state plainly that no invented cats or composite pets will be considered. The anthology's stated conviction is that loving a cat is an odd, slightly undignified, entirely unnecessary devotion, and that this is precisely what makes it worth writing about. The editors also invite work from those who are not cat people—writers who were forced to encounter, or live with, a cat not of their choosing. The emotional register is left open: wit, oddity, and feeling are welcome in whatever proportion the cat in question requires. What the editors ask for is craft rather than sentiment. They specify that they want work that is authentic rather than sentimental, and that presents its emotion through detail rather than statement. The call is no-fee, open to multiple submissions, and closes on December 31, 2026. There is no prize attached; the opportunity is publication in the anthology.
