Established in 1998 and made possible through the Walter E. Dakin Memorial Fund and the Sewanee Writers' Conference, the Sewanee Writers' Series represents one more way for the University of the South to fulfill Tennessee Williams' vision of supporting "creative writers and creative writing."

Under the editorship of Wyatt Prunty, the Series was officially inaugurated during the 1998 Sewanee Writers' Conference with the release of John Bricuth's book-length narrative poem Just Let Me Say This About That. Four more poetry collections—Philip Stephens's The Determined Days, Greg Williamson's Errors in the Script, Charles Martin's Starting from Sleep: New and Selected Poems, and Andrew Hudgins's Ecstatic in the Poison; six fiction titles—Daniel Mueller's How Animals Mate, Lily Tuck's Siam, Or The Woman Who Shot a Man; Richard Schmitt's The Aerialist, Adrianne Harun's The King of Limbo, Brent Benoit's All Saints' Day, and Greg Williams's Boomtown; and two collections of plays by Horton Foote, The Last of the Thorntons, as well as The Carpetbagger's Children and The Actor.

The Sewanee Writers' Series is not accepting manuscripts at this time.
