Writers West Now Has Western Directories

Writers West, the online source for autographed titles about the American West, has added western directories to the site.

(PRWEB) October 23, 2004 -- Writers West, the online source for autographed titles about the American West, has expanded to offer directories filled with links about the American West. The seven directories are a great resource for finding western AUTHORS on the web, researching western Americana, or locating places online to read or buy western fiction.

The addition of western directories will be a bonus for people doing research. The HISTORY directory has a list of sites for general information, including sites designated by state. There is a directory for AMERICAN INDIAN sites, and one for information about BLACK AMERICAN settlement of the West. Western American lifestyle is represented in the RODEO directory, which lists cowboy and ranching sites as well as links to the rodeo industry. Since HORSES are so endemic to the West, this special directory features breed information, horse history, and practical sites for the horse enthusiast.

For anyone wanting to read western fiction, the READERS directory lists the numerous places online where western magazines, fiction and poetry can be found. The directory of Western Authors who have sites on the World Wide Web will make it easy for fans to stay up to date about their favorite writer.

Although many directories are popping up on the Internet, very often they are focused on one subject, or they are so large it is necessary to browse several categories and pages to find information. Writers West pages present results that are helpful and not repetitive. All sites in the Writers West Directory have been visited to determine the relevancy to the American West. Pertinent annotations are given about specific content information or site navigation.

In all, the directories at Writers West offer a bevy of unique sites, with links continually being added and updated. Writers West expects this to be a useful stop for researchers and anyone interested in the American West.

"It was a natural extension of the site," says developer K Cheatham. "It's important to offer our visitors information that isn't readily found in other book sites. We welcome suggestions of sites that could be included here."

Other features of Writers West are autographed books by authors ranging from How-to to Western Romance. Fiction books are about the Old West up through contemporary times. Many autographed collectible and rare books are also available, as well as a variety of new children's nonfiction titles.
