The Eckleburg Project

Texas A&M's Official Literary Journal

The Eckleburg Project is the official undergraduate literary journal of Texas A&M University. We are an undergraduate organization featuring student poetry, prose, and art. Now with thirteen issues under our belt, we started with the idea that art should be free and easily accessible to the community.

Our staff is composed of undergraduate students and editors who select pieces to be published semesterly under a process of blind review. For information on how to join, go to our apply page. For information on how to submit, go to our submissions page. For general inquiries, or just to say hello, contact our organizational email at theeckleburgproject@gmail.com.

As always, we thank you for your support as we continue to foster art here at Texas A&M.

Editor in Chief, Brigham Pettit

I’m Brigham. I’m a poet, storyteller, musician, and a lifelong lover of language.

I joined The Eckleburg Project as a Staff Writer in the Fall of 2022. It’s been a fantastic experience to hone my voice (and, by consequence, the voice of the Project) with the support of my fellow Staff Writers.

I’m working toward a career in creative writing, one poem and story at a time. My outside publications are few — just a couple of haiku so far — but it’s a start.

And yet, somehow, I’m a Computer Science major.

But I’m always falling in love with a word two.

 

Managing Editor, Elizabeth Monzingo

Hello! I’m Elizabeth Monzingo, a second year Environmental Design student in the School of Architecture. In my life outside of architecture, I spend most of my time with friends or pursuing the passion I have for both art and literature (but especially art). This year marks my first as a member of The Eckleburg Project.

 

Head Staff Writer, Jonathan Pettit

Yes, it’s me again. (This is the pseudonym I publish under.)

I still love language.

 

Head Designer, Alyssa Lazarchik

Howdy! My name is Alyssa Lazarchik and I am a sophomore Visualization major from Frisco, Texas. This year I am serving as the Head of Design for the Eckleburg Project. I am currently working toward a degree in UI/UX design and plan to pursue a career in the graphic design industry. I love working in collaborative environments and I am so grateful I have been given the opportunity to work on the Eckleburg project to give the student body a chance to publish their work and share their creativity with the community.

 
 

Editor, Ella Ward

Howdy, my name is Ella! I’m from Plano, Texas and I’m majoring in Political Science, with a double minor in English and Sociology. I plan on going to law school after I graduate, probably somewhere around the Dallas area. I love reading and writing, and I also have a minor (major) obsession with plants and horticulture. I’m really looking forward to continuing on The Eckleburg Project and being a co-editor of Poetry and Prose with Briana!
