Send us Your Submissions!

We are currently accepting submissions of Western short stories, nonfiction articles on any subject dealing with the Old West, or Western themed artwork. We are interested in seeing your original Western themed artwork, as we haven't received any yet. We recently updated our Submission Guidelines, so be sure you check them before submitting.

The Western Online is dedicated to everything Western. The type of story most likely to be published here is the traditional post-Civil War Western. However, we will consider any story that is connected with the early settling of America that takes place during the 1700s and early 1800s, from swashbuckling pirates to mountain men and the early pioneers. All stories must be set in the 17th, 18th, or 19th centuries and deal with the opening and exploration of the American West.

We also publish non-fiction articles on any subject dealing with the Old West.

At this time, The Western Online is a non-paying market and currently has an open-ended submission period. That means the submission period is always open with no deadline. Your work will be published upon acceptance.

The submission period for The Western Online is now open. Send us your stories and artwork. See our Submission Guidelines.

“You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist.”    -Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)
