Thank you for reading the fourth edition of The Writer! We hope you had as much
fun reading it as we had curating it.

​

Like the bluebonnets, our journal is in full bloom. We received a record number of
submissions and made a record number of happy memories. Just a year ago, this
journal was only an idea. But through lots of brainstorming, advertising, and, most
importantly, your submissions—our journal has grown to be a staple part of the UT
writing sphere. But there’s still more to do.

​

UT offers limited resources for undergraduates to jumpstart their writing
career—and we’re going to change that. By leveraging the author network of our

parent organization, Texas Writing Society, we aim to direct leading authors and
publishers to this journal, so they can discover your work.

​

This journal would not be possible without our readers and contributors, and we
want your voice to help shape its future. Whether you have ideas, feedback, or
simply want to share your story, fill out the form on our home page to get in touch.
We’d love to receive a letter back!

​

As we grow, we hope you grow with us and help keep this journal blossoming for
years to come.

​

Happy Spring,

-The Editorial Team
