About the author

The Texan Writer was launched in the spring of 2026 by four professors at Tarleton State University. By publishing some of the strong writing being produced in English classes at Tarleton, they hope to encourage and reward the university’s student body. With that goal in mind, they are currently seeking submissions for the first issue, which will appear in April 2026.
