About Rope and Wire
Promote Your Music and Your Art
Two new Rope and Wire features, The Musicians Herald and Western Artists, are now online and ready to help you promote your work.
Our Newest Features
AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT
In my continuing quest to improve this site, I have started a new feature at the beginning of the Short Stories page. I call it the Authors Spotlight. This is for all authors who have had at least five stories posted onto the Rope and Wire website. The goal here is to bring attention to some great western authors who have shown their continued support of this site.
You can still find many great western short stories on the short stories page, below the spotlighted authors.
CONTEMPORARY WESTERN SHORT STORIES
I started this site with traditional western short stories in mind, and have held to that guideline up until just recently. Over the past two-plus years I’ve received a number of western short story submissions that I would consider more contemporary than traditional, and maybe a bit more ‘country’ than western. Some of these stories have been submitted by published authors and were very well written. But, sticking to my guidelines, I’ve turned them down.
As I’ve stated in the past, Rope and Wire is a constantly evolving site. It’s always changing as I try to give its readers a site well worth coming back to. If something isn’t working, it either disappears or changes for the better, I hope.
In any case, something different eventually takes its place.
So with that in mind, I’ve decided to break from my past guidelines and begin accepting contemporary western stories in a new section called... Contemporary Western Short Stories.
You will find a link to this newest section toward the top of the Short Stories/Tall Tales main page.
I’m not sure how fast this section will grow, but I do think it will be a welcome addition and a natural progression in the evolution of the “Rope and Wire” website.
I hope you enjoy it.
