Our Mission
The New Quarterly (TNQ) believes that literature and literacy are key elements in creating a culturally, socially, and economically vibrant society. TNQ magazine, and the Wild Writers Literary Festival, inspire and celebrate writers and readers alike, both locally, and nationally.
TNQ is a national award-winning magazine of Canadian fiction, poetry and essays that has been publishing in Waterloo for 32 years. We nurture emerging writers by publishing and promoting their work alongside that of well-established writers. Our writers have gone on to be nominated for Giller Prizes, Governor General’s Awards, Griffin Poetry Prizes, Writers’ Trust Notable Author Awards, Journey Prizes, National Magazine Awards, and more. TNQ’s mission is to reach readers, and to publish and promote writers, from all parts of Canada, while bringing talented regional writers and artists before a wider audience. Our mandate is to nurture emerging writers by publishing and promoting their work alongside that of well-established writers we admire, and to provide an editorial context in which both can be read.
