The Sabine Series in Literature seeks to highlight work by authors born in or working in Eastern Texas and/or Louisiana. There are no thematic restrictions; Texas Review Press seeks the best writing possible by authors from this unique region of the American South. TRP seeks full-length poetry collections of 50-100 pages, or fiction manuscripts of 40,000-120,000 words.
Poetry Manuscripts should be submitted in their entirety, and should be between 50-100 pages in length.
Fiction Manuscripts should be submitted in proposal form, including a cover letter, title, table of contents, summary of the project, 2 sample chapters/stories, a short author biography, and a CV/Resume. If interested the editors will request the entire manuscript.
If TRP is interested in pursuing your project, it will move on to the peer-review and editorial processes.
