Vision

Our vision is to identify, acquire, and revive reputable, defunct literary journals in an effort to strengthen the infrastructure of the American literary tradition, fostering the growth of every next generation of writers.

The first step in this vision is to revive American Short Fiction and restore it to its place as one of the leading publications presenting important new work from emerging and established writers.

Through our educational programs we are fostering the next generation of creative writers. We bring the best writers into Austin area schools in order to cultivate the best student writing. By doing this, we aim to create a solid and reputable program for empowering students to make literary art from their joy and their jeopardy even as they gain language skills that will ensure their future professional success.
