Submission Requirements
What: We're looking for well-written stories. Give us
something with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
How: Email your story. Send it to
editor@frontiertales.com.
Please paste your story into the
body of the email. No attachments, please. Some viruses are sent in attachments. Also, we don't have the software to
read all formats. So, for example, if you are using Wordperfect, save your story as a text file, e.g. story.txt, then
copy story.txt into the body of the email.
Size: No minimum size, but your story should be no longer than 5,000 words. If it is longer than 5,000 words,
break it up into roughly equal sized segments for serialization, no segment longer than 5,000 words. Send in the
complete story and all segments, all in the same email.
When: There are no deadlines at this time. If your story is to be used but it is too late for this month's issue,
it will go into the next available issue automatically.
Note: Please don't send queries. This is a Western magazine. We're interested in Western stories,
Western biographies, etc. The key concept here is the interaction of the frontier with civilization and
the adjustments people had to make in order to find a way to survive. There was a time when living in New
York meant surviving a brush with Seneca warriors. A story about that would be welcome. However, a tale about
a fight between a New York State Assemblyman and a Seneca Nation Councillor that occurred last year would be
inappropriate. Please bear in mind the difference.
By submitting a story to us you are giving us the right to print your story, maintain your story in our
archive, and print your story in a collection of other stories.
