At The New Quarterly (TNQ), we are committed to fostering an inclusive and accessible literary space for all readers, writers, and contributors. We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are dedicated to continuous improvement to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, can engage with our content and community.

TNQ is committed to:

  • Ensuring compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) and its Information and Communications Standards, including adherence to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA for our website and digital content.
  • Providing an accessible digital experience on our website, ensuring compatibility with screen readers, alternative text for images, and clear, navigable structures. 
  • Offering alternative formats of our published content upon request, including digital editions compatible with assistive technologies.
  • Ensuring our submission process is accessible by providing accommodations as needed.
  • Fostering accessible in-person and virtual events, including live captioning, transcripts, and venue considerations where possible.
  • Listening to and learning from our community, incorporating feedback to improve accessibility across all aspects of TNQ.
