  Mallary Tenore Tarpley

  Assistant Professor of Practice at the University of Texas at Austin's School of Journalism and Media

  Mallary Tenore Tarpley is an assistant professor of practice University of Texas at Austin, where she teaches journalism classes in the Moody College of Communication and writing classes at the McCombs School of Business.

  Her debut nonfiction book, SLIP: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery, explores the under-discussed complexities of eating disorders and recovery from them. The book is equal parts memoir and journalism, and it weaves together Mallary's own narrative with perspectives from clinicians, researchers, and others with lived experience. In 2023, Mallary received a generous grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to support the science-related reporting in the book, specifically around the neurobiological and genetic aspects of eating disorders.

  Previously, Mallary was the associate director of UT Austin’s Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas, an international training and outreach center for journalists. Prior to UT Austin, Mallary was executive director the nonprofit Images & Voices of Hope (ivoh), where she developed a storytelling genre called Restorative Narrative — stories that show how people and communities are finding meaningful pathways forward in the aftermath of trauma. Mallary started her career at The Poynter Institute, a world-renowned journalism think tank. As managing editor of the Institute’s website, Poynter.org, she wrote and edited stories about the media industry and interviewed hundreds of journalists and authors.

  Mallary’s articles and personal essays have been published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Dallas Morning News, The Tampa Bay Times, Teen Vogue, and Harvard University's Nieman Storyboard, among other publications. She maintains a weekly newsletter, Write at the Edge, featuring writing tips and best practices.

  Mallary holds a bachelor’s degree from Providence College and a master’s of fine arts in nonfiction writing from Goucher College. She lives in the Austin area with her husband and two young children.
