TRUE WEST relates our American West history back to the present day, to show readers the important role our heritage plays in keeping the spirit of the West alive during our everyday travels and adventures out West.
True West magazine (established in 1953) is published 12 times, including a bonus "Best of the West" Source Book.
True West's features and departments tie the history of the Old West—focusing mainly between 1800 to 1910—to the modern Western lifestyle through enticing narrative and intelligent analysis.
We actively seek out creative writers who can infuse their articles with personality and humor. Even though the magazine does not publish fiction or poetry, such creative talents can be utilized for True West by writing narrative journalism that humanizes the facts.
The editors encourage each writer to keep his or her ear to the ground and inform us about new research or upcoming anniversaries concerning Old West icons and historic events and places. We also want to hear about any big, exciting projects that are keeping the lore of the West alive and well in your local community.
True West seeks to establish long-term relationships with writers who conduct excellent research, provide a fresh look at an old subject, write well, hit deadlines and provide manuscripts at the assigned word length. Such writers tend to get repeat assignments.
