About Us

Who we are:

eleven40seven is TCU’s student-run, undergraduate journal of the arts. Originally started by the Bryson Literary Society in 2005, the journal now operates independently, run by an undergraduate staff and one faculty advisor. Together, we work to publish the journal biannually.

What we believe:

The journal has always aimed to present a student perspective that differs drastically from mainstream campus culture, promoting TCU’s artistic and creative endeavors. Our desire to be different, to be unexpected, is an important part of our history and identity. Our name became eleven40seven. Our mission became to showcase the different, the new, the meaningful in the work generated by our fellow students.

Why call ourselves eleven40seven:

When deciding on a name for the journal, some of the founders originally planned a brainstorming session for noon. However, in the spirit of individuality, the other founders argued that the meeting should take place at 11:47 a.m. instead. Though the brainstorming itself produced no lasting results, the meeting time stuck. When the first issue came out in Spring 2005, it was that meeting time, that first statement of our distinct identity, that sprawled across the cover.

Why we exist:

Today, eleven40seven is a highly respected publication, and though our acquisitions process is competitive, we have remained accessible to all students, offering them a place to display their own creative work and a place to appreciate the work of their peers.
