New River exists to nurture our finest writers of plays, screenplays, fiction and poetry, and to encourage them to create the best work of which they are capable. New River values distinctively original voices who write with a love of language and a compassion for the human condition, however troubled it may be. We need better stories because, finally, we are the stories we tell. At New River our mission is to develop a stream of literature that enlightens our souls and refreshes the human spirit. New River writers have achieved spectacular honors. In 2007, Pulitzer Prize laureate N. Scott Momaday was among nine recipients of the National Medal of Arts, the nation's highest honor for artistic excellence; Denis Johnson was awarded the National Book Award; Cassandra Medley won the August Wilson Prize; and John Mighton was awarded the $100,000 Simonovitch Prize.
