Looking for a little help writing an article

[cinderbird]

So, after my first real venture into the world of book-making (Keeping Ball Pythons being the first), I want to make writing a more common place thing for me. The next piece of literature I plan to write is an article on the keeping of snakes (all snakes, including harmless, giants and venomous). This I plan on keeping short, less than 100 pages in trade format (6x9). Its not going to be nearly as flashy as KBP with all of its pretty pictures and colored heading text but I still do want a few pictures for the article.

The working title of the article is as follows:

"May We Come Inside Now?
Comprehensive and Compelling Evidence for the Keeping of Snakes:
Harmless, Giants and Venomous"

Perhaps that can give people a better idea of what the article is to be about. I want to be able to tell as many people as possible WHY it is ok to keep snakes in captivity, and dispel the myths and fears associated with keeping them. In short EDUCATE PEOPLE.

I have harmless snakes covered, but I dont really do giants or venomous. If anyone is willing to donate a few photos to the article (and those that do are more then welcome to read it before I post/publish it) post them here or PM me with them along with the information you'd like in the photo credit (usually this would include the photographers name, the owner of the animals name, the species in both common terms and scientific, and the year it was taken, possibly the camera type as well ) and any other info you're looking for.

This article will eventually be posted for anyone to view for free. I will most likely make it available for free download because that will be the easiest way. Because of all the political what-not surrounding the keeping of snakes I want this to be available to as many people as possible.

If you have any specific topics you'd want to see as well put them here. I've got my basic outline started but i'm always looking for someone elses point of view. Feel to PM or IM me (clockworkjukebox) if you have something you'd like to discuss in a less public format. Personal stories are welcome as well.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
