History

The press can trace its origins back to 1976, when Sam Houston State University English professor Paul Ruffin helped establish the ''Sam Houston Literary Review'', a biannual academic journal article that focused on poetry and fiction. The journal began to sell fiction and poetry pieces, and by 1979, Ruffin's creation had earned enough money for him to found the Texas Review Press. The press later joined the Texas Book Consortium program in 1997.
