- Taylor Fogarty is best known as founder and publisher of American Western Magazine, online at ReadTheWest.com. Known worldwide as "The Internet Source For Western"; this online venture is updated monthly and consists of over 1,200 archived pages of short fiction, poetry, book reviews and excerpts, rodeo news, columns on ranching issues, horse training and Old West history as well as fascinating in depth interviews with actors, artists, authors, and musicians. Taylor Fogarty's professional affiliations include membership in the Academy of Country Music (including voting privileges for the annual ACM Awards), Wyoming Writers Inc., and she is also an active member of Western Writers of America and has served on that organization's Hall of Fame committee since 2000. In 1998 her short story "The Dime-A-Dozen Man" won First Place in the fiction category of Wyoming Writers' annual writing contest. Fogarty was also named recipient of the Emmie Mygatt Memorial Scholarship that same year. Today, her exclusive celebrity interviews spotlight the very best within today's Western film & music genre, and include such personalities as Tom Selleck, Barry Corbin, Sam Elliott, Red Steagall, Chris LeDoux, and James Arness, to name a few. Another of Fogarty's short fiction stories, "One Man's Land" appears as the lead story in the Spur Award-winning anthology "Hot Biscuits - Eighteen Stories by Women & Men of the Ranching West," published in hardcover in 2002 by the University of New Mexico Press and edited by Candy Moulton and Max Evans (author of over 29 novels and whose film credits include The Hi-Lo Country and The Rounders). The anthology is unique in that contributing writers had to meet Evans' inflexible requirements: experience plus imagination plus innate writing ability. The book is a collection of stories written by working cowboys - men and women who were ranch hands with at least five years of paid experience.
Fogarty lives on a working cattle ranch in the high country of northern Colorado with her husband, Richard. They have three daughters: Jen, Alexis and Sarah.- IMDb Mini Biography By: agent
