“The Idea of Texas: Truth, Myth, and Legend”

Writers and scholars are invited to submit works that explore the idea of Texas—what it is, what it means, what it suggests.  We welcome original Texas-related creative writing as well as critical analyses of “The Idea of Texas” as found in literature, drama, film, popular culture, music, dance, visual arts, and photography.

Reading/Presentation Time: 15 minutes maximum (around 8 pages). Scholarly submissions (never previously presented or published) may be complete papers or abstracts of 250-300 words. Poetry, fiction or creative non-fiction must be complete when submitted. Submissions will be judged by the TCEA Board through a blind review process.
