For our final installment of Meet the Press Monday, meet Dan, the director of TCU Press!
Dan has served as director since 2011, but he has been associated with the Press for over 20 years through the TCU Advisory Board. In his role, Dan oversees every step of the publishing process and helps ensure the long-term success of the Press.
Although not originally from Fort Worth, Dan has lived here for the last 23 years. That, combined with his passion for publishing the stories of Texas, makes him an FTW native in our eyes.
As a literature teacher for over 40 years and lifelong reader, Dan couldn’t pick just three of his favorite authors to invite to a dream dinner party. He explained that he’d need a banquet hall to fit everyone, adding that “if Mark Twain promised not to smoke ci**rs, I would sit next to him.” Similarly, Dan doesn’t necessarily have a favorite book, but he’s been loving Ann Cleeves’s new release, THE KILLING STONES.
When he’s not at the Press, you can find Dan enjoying a mystery novel at his favorite place on TCU’s campus: the horned frog statue nestled between Reed and Sadler Hall.
Dan is truly at the heart of TCU Press. Thank you for tuning in to Meet the Press Monday to meet our wonderful staff!
