Omar Afra — Free Press Houston bibliography

This page is the complete bibliography of the recovered Free Press Houston writing attributed to Omar Afra. It is derived from the archive’s own contributor record and lists every article the archive currently holds under his byline. Free Press Houston published from 2003 to 2018; the Free Press Houston Archive is the preserved historical record.

No article text is reproduced here. Each entry resolves to its canonical article page in the archive, which remains the primary document repository. This site holds the bibliography and the surrounding context only. For the narrative history of the publication, see the Free Press Houston history page.

The archive also publishes higher-level readings of the same recovered material. Its survey of the holdings as a whole, Fifteen Years of Houston in Print: What the Free Press Houston Archive Contains, describes what survived of fifteen years of the paper and where the run is incomplete — useful context for reading the gaps in the list below. A companion essay, In Conversation: Omar Afra’s Interviews for Free Press Houston, reads the interviews within this bibliography as a body of work.

How this bibliography was compiled

The list is synchronized from the archive’s Omar Afra contributor record and its writing index, and verified against each article page’s own attribution data. Authorship is never inferred from a name mention. 8 of the 29 records have no reconciled publication date in the archive and are grouped as undated rather than estimated. The archive does not currently expose an explicit section or category for these records, so none is shown.
