Welcome to Saddlebag Dispatches, Where Stories Of The West Come To Be Told. If you like stories of the West, you've come to the right place. But we don't just tell stories of the Old West. If a tale takes place west of Mississippi and has the spirit of the Old West in it--even if it involves pickups and highways instead of horses and dusty trails--this is where it belongs. In addition to fiction, we publish the best nonfiction about the West as well as poetry, interviews and...well, pretty much anything to do with the West. Are you getting the idea we like things western?
The Autumn/Winter 2017 issue features our exclusive interview with award-winning author John J. Dwyer, as well a photo tour of the Pioneer Woman Museum in Ponca City, Oklahoma, coverage of the 2017 Western Writer's of America convention, an exclusive on-set update from the upcoming Western film Painted Woman, short fiction from Spur Award-winning author Richard Prosch, Dennis Doty, Darrel Sparkman, Terry Sanville, Tommy Hancock, and Claudia Mundell, and the fourth installment of Michael and D.A. Frizell's sizzling serial graphic novel, Bender.
