Short Story Market

Question for those who write short stories in the western genre.

Anybody having luck finding a paying market for western short stories? Duotrope shows a limited number in the token pay range (The Western Online being an example). Some of the 'pulp' mixed genre magazines (like Big Pulp) consider westerns.

For those interested, I found a quarterly called The Big Adios (from One Eye Press). Until recently The Big Adios was a weekly online set up but they're moving to a quarterly magazine format. The current submission period closed April 14th, but something to keep an eye on. They pay 1 cent a word (up to $25 max) and accept stories up to 5000 words.

I have a story that will be appearing in issue 1, which comes out this September.

Thanks for the lead! I'll check it out.

Good suggestion. I'm a fan of both magazines. Recall who wrote the bare-knuckle boxing stories? Sounds like something I'd like to read.

Excellent. Thanks!

Thanks for the info! I'll track one down.

If you like the movies then you'd probably love the novels and stories. A good deal of the movies are adaptations of novels: Lonesome Dove, True Grit, more recently Appaloosa. Three-Ten to Yuma is a short story by Elmore Leonard. Long list. The market's shrinking for western movies and stories. Seems like the audience is getting older rather than younger. With the way movies are made today, I suppose that's a death knell for the time being. I look forward to westerns making a comeback.
