Founded in the mid-’70s, the Texas Association of Creative Writers (TACW) brings together novelists, story writers, essayists, memoirists, poets, playwrights from across the state of Texas. Many members teach in university and college creative writing programs as well as high school and summer workshops. Some members are independent scholars.
 
 
Each year, in September or October, TACW hosts its annual  conference in a Texas city.  The conference includes panels on creative writing pedagogy and readings by individual members.  Previous conference locations include Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Beaumont, Lubbock, and Wimberly.
