New Author?
We know it's getting harder and harder to find someone who will publish your western
or historical stories. Well, if you're looking for an opportunity to get your
work shown, you've come to the right place. You give us a story, the right to publish your work online,
maintain it in our archives, and include it in a print reproduction, such as
in an anthology. We'll put it out there for the world to enjoy.
We're looking for well-written short stories. If you would like to submit one for publication, send it to
editor@frontiertales.com in the body of an email. No attachments, please.
Be sure to check our submission requirements.
