CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 4, 2012 — La Frontera Publishing ( www.lafronterapublishing.com ) is no longer accepting short story manuscript submissions for the first in a series of anthologies on the American West to be published by the Cheyenne, Wyoming-based publishing company. Look for our annoucement later this month featuring those authors who will have their short stories included in our first anthology, "Outlaws and Lawmen."
The series will be presented under the heading of "La Frontera Publishing Presents The American West." Each anthology will offer a collection of fictional short stories, showcasing some of America's newest Western writers.
The first anthology, "Outlaws and Lawmen", (ISBN 978-0-9785634-9-3) is due out early October 2012.
