Williamson moved in 1979 to Wyoming,[4][1] where he worked on a drilling rig in the gas fields.[3] He then wrote the book Roughnecking It (1982) and later said "It was the best year of my life, and I made lasting friends."[3] He also lived two years in New Mexico.[4][1]
In 1989 he started writing for Chronicles, where he wrote the columns "The Hundredth Meridian" and "What's Wrong With the World".[1] Williamson was its senior editor for books since 1989, and became editor of the magazine in June 2015.[3] The book The Hundredth Meridian (2005) is a collection of columns he wrote for Chronicles, in which the Western landscape becomes a character in itself.[3]
