Newfound: Exploring the Intersection of Place and Identity

Newfound is a nonprofit publisher based in Austin, Texas that is dedicated to exploring how place shapes identity, imagination, and understanding. Founded in 2010 by a group of writers and artists who were passionate about the power of storytelling to connect people across cultures and geographies, Newfound has quickly become one of the most respected literary journals in the country.

At its core, Newfound believes that stories have the power to change lives. By publishing work that explores the complex relationships between people and their environments, Newfound seeks to foster empathy, understanding, and connection among readers from all walks of life.

The journal is published tri-annually and features fiction, poetry, nonfiction, visual arts, reviews, and more. Each issue is carefully curated by a team of experienced editors who are committed to showcasing work that pushes boundaries both stylistically and thematically.

One unique aspect of Newfound's mission is its commitment to publishing poetry chapbooks through its annual Gloria E. Anzaldúa Poetry Prize. Named after the legendary Chicana feminist writer Gloria Anzaldúa (1942-2004), this prize recognizes outstanding work by emerging poets whose writing reflects Anzaldúa's commitment to social justice and cultural diversity.

In addition to its print publications, Newfound also maintains an active online presence through its website (www.newfound.org) which features original content such as interviews with writers/artists featured in past issues as well as blog posts on topics related to literature/arts/culture.

Newfound's impact on contemporary literature cannot be overstated. Its contributors have gone on to win numerous awards including Pushcart Prizes for their work published in our pages. Our readership spans across continents with subscribers from all over North America as well as Europe & Asia-Pacific regions.

As a nonprofit publisher operating out of Austin Texas - one of America's most vibrant cultural hubs - Newfound is uniquely positioned to bring together writers and artists from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Our commitment to fostering a sense of community among our contributors and readers is reflected in everything we do.

In conclusion, Newfound is a literary journal that stands out for its commitment to exploring the intersection of place and identity through powerful storytelling. With its tri-annual print publication, annual poetry chapbook prize, online presence, and commitment to social justice & cultural diversity, Newfound has established itself as one of the most important voices in contemporary literature today.
