About New Rivers Press
New Rivers Press was founded in 1968 in New York by C. W. "Bill" Truesdale. Over 300 books later, the press, now a non-profit located at Minnesota State University Moorhead, has remained true to Bill's original goal, to publish the best new literature from new and emerging writers. It has also broadened its mission to offer encouragement, feedback, publication, and promotion to new, emerging and established writers from the many Americas and to create learning opportunities for students interested in small press publishing.
