TNQ Writers in the News

It isn’t often that we have the opportunity to come out from behind our desks, put on some swanky clothes and hobnob with the great and good of our community. But last week we did just that. We were bursting with excitement and pride as we stepped out to celebrate our own Kim Jernigan as a Woman of Waterloo (WOW) award winner.

An award-winning journal with a sense of fun, The New Quarterly has been publishing the best of new Canadian writing for 31 years. We offer a lively mix of fiction, poetry, author interviews, and talk about writing. Each issue will introduce you to a new generation of Canadian writers, share our delight in the sound and sense of a story well-told, and take you inside great writing.

TNQ writers have been nominated for Giller prizes, Governor General’s Awards, Griffin Poetry Prizes, Writer’s Trust Notable Author awards, Journey prizes, Commonwealth prizes, National Magazine Awards, and more.
