B. Alan Bourgeois began telling stories at twelve, handwriting speculative scripts for the television series Adam-12. A community-college writing class reopened that creative path in 1989, when one of his short stories was published.
He went on to write fiction and nonfiction across multiple genres and to found Creative House Press and Creative House Kids Press. The experience showed him that many writers were not failing because they lacked worthwhile work, but because discoverability, marketing and access were working against them.
In 2011, he founded the Texas Authors Association, an effort that evolved into the Texas Authors Museum and Institute of History. Through reading programs, competitions, festivals, interviews, education and preservation work, Alan has spent more than a decade building infrastructure for authors whose work might otherwise be overlooked.
His creative practice now reaches beyond books into lyrics, music, film development and public speaking. Across those disciplines, the purpose remains consistent: tell the truth plainly, challenge inherited limits and create work that leaves people less alone.
