Western Sportsman is currently accepting story queries for feature articles to appear in the 2010 issues.

We would love to hear from new writers and photographers.

Please take a look at our writer's guidelines , and then send your queries to editor@westernsportsman.com.

Remember - even if you've already written the story, please query witha 100-word outline.No query - no acceptance. Sorry to be blunt, but we don't have the manpower to read every unsolicited story that comes in.

Photography - as outlined in the writer's guidelines, we only accept high-resolution digital photography. If you're unsure what "high-resolution" means, or unsure how to e-mail photos so they remain "high-resolution," please take them time to learn. It's a busy time of year for us, and we might not be able to get back to you before the deadline for stories closes. High-resolution, quality digital photography is a must! (Would you want to see anything but that in Western Sportsman?)

Oh - and if you could have your ideas to me by May 22, that'd be great.

Thanks -- please, if you would like to try writing for Western Sportsman, I encourage you to submit!
