The New Quarterly

about

The New QuarterlyTNQ, for short—is a Canadian literary magazine known and loved for our wit, warmth, and literary flair. Since our beginnings, we’ve grown into much more than a magazine: TNQ has become a vibrant literary community dedicated to discovering, nurturing, and continually supporting distinctive voices at every stage of their career.

Each issue we publish is a carefully curated collection—a literary feast of poems, essays, short stories, and in-depth interviews. We invite readers to dive into whimsical worlds, meet unforgettable characters, and savour stories that sparkle with authenticity and heart.

Beyond our pages, TNQ is home to a dynamic array of literary endeavors. Our projects include the Wild Writers Literary Festival, which brings authors and readers together in celebration of the written word; the Wild Writers Retreat, offering writers intense writing time along with an opportunity to work  one-to-one with our mentors in a beautiful environment. Through Spirit Ink, we proudly showcase and celebrate Indigenous voices, and with The X Page Workshop, we empower and amplify marginalized communities. We also love playful intersections—like our unique collaboration with fashion brand Vestige Story—and exploring writers’ multifaceted lives through our podcast, Parallel Careers. Read more about them at TNQ Presents.

At TNQ, literature is more than storytelling—it’s about building connections, fostering creativity, and enriching our cultural landscape. We warmly invite you to join us in exploring the boundless possibilities of Canadian writing.
