hunkered down in the wilderness, betrothed to a monstrous novel

Archer County isn't just a place on the map. It's a place of mind, a place to nurture our imaginations, to discover who we are as writers. In this place of mind, I'm convinced, a new generation of writers who plant themselves here will flourish like the green mesquite spreading across the Old West.

– George Getschow, Mayborn mentor
