An online journal of Western and Cowboy stories and poetry. We roundup stories from writers who want to share their work and offer them to you for your enjoyment. 

Welcome to True Chili’s Cowboy Literature. As with our other endeavors, it has been a long road. But we hope you enjoy reading these stories and poems as much as we did selecting them. So, kick off your boots and welcome to our campfire.

True Chili

We do love our Cowboy Tales.
And we were very pleased with the quality of submissions we received for our first several issues of True Chili.
So, we're going to do it again.
Send us your best cowboy stories and poems.  Please, no more than two poems per submission.
If we love your work, we will want to publish it and so share it with the world.
We do not currently pay for accepted pieces.
 
We are looking for work that has not been previously published.  Simultaneous submissions are okay, but please let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere and remove it from our submission list.  If you do not withdraw it, we assume it is still available.
Please understand that True Chili is an electronic publication and is part of Underwood Press LLC.
 
If we agree to publish your work, you agree to give us first electronic publishing rights and non-exclusive rights for the full term of the copyright. This means that we can keep and display your work in our electronic archives indefinitely.  All other rights revert to the author upon publication.
If we wish to use your work in a later anthology (print or electronic) or record it for one of our podcasts, we will ask for separate permission before doing so.
Please credit Underwood Press and/or True Chili as the first publisher if you reprint elsewhere.
Please understand that we are looking for finished pieces.  Don't send it to us if you are still revising.  Although we may make small editorial changes in the work. These will not usually go beyond correcting typos or grammatical errors. For any substantive change, we will contact the author.
