Are you a Wyoming writer? Have you ever been stood up by a raft guide, strung along by a rodeo clown, reconnected with yourself under an antler arch, or finally understood sisterhood on a blizzard on I-80? Then, we want to hear your story!

Broad Shoulder Press is excited to announce our first print anthology focusing on love in the West. We will accept poetry, personal essays, and short fiction. We want to know how Wyoming has shaped your experiences with love- how you love, who you love and how you’ve felt love.
