My name is Cherie Langlois and I’m a full-time freelance writer and photographer who specializes in pet, farm, and travel topics. After working as a zookeeper for eight years, I switched to writing (and being rejected) about what I knew and loved best — animals. Since 1995 or so, I’ve had nearly 200 articles published in magazines like Dog Fancy, Cat Fancy, Hobby Farms, Hobby Farm Home, Mother Earth News, Parenting, Horse & Rider, and Bird Talk. I’m a contributing editor for Hobby Farms magazine and just finished up my first book for Bowtie Press, Hobby Farms Ducks.

If you’re passionate about animals, travel, or writing, then we’ve got something in common — welcome!
