Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers see western films more clearly, whether through story, screen craft, film history, place or the genre’s influence on later work.

What makes a good pitch

Send a focused proposal with a working title, the central question or argument, the films or screen details you would discuss, and why the subject suits Western Movie Guide. Strong pitches have a clear point, a distinct angle and enough grounding to separate observation from interpretation.

What to avoid

We are unlikely to pursue broad lists, plot summaries, unsupported claims about history, or pieces that treat one film as proof of what an entire culture or period was like. Do not send confidential material or promise access you cannot provide.

How to propose it

Send your proposal through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. A pitch is a proposal, not a commission; please wait for a response before preparing a full piece.
