Students: Under the direction of professional faculty and staff, students enroll in classes and work as interns or to do the work of the press. Classroom work relates directly to the publication and promotion of books. Students may pursue a concentration or Certificate in Publishing, which involves them in all areas (editorial, design and production, marketing and distribution), or they may take electives in a given area. Contact Wayne, Al, or Donna for information.
Writers: We sponsor the MVP competition for new and emerging writers each year: the submission period is September 15-November 1. We consider work in all genres; each year, we hold a national competition in either poetry or prose. Click here for more information. We also welcome the opportunity to read work of every character from single authors. If you are interested in editing an anthology, please become familiar with our list and then contact Al.
Donors: When we relocated the press from Minneapolis to Minnesota State Moorhead, the McKnight Foundation helped us defray debt. Without that grant and the generosity of others, both individuals and foundations such as Jerome, which continues its support of the MVP Project, the relocation could not have occurred. Now that we are at MSUM, we need your help to sustain the press. There are many ways to contribute:you can donate to general operations, so that we can continue to publish good books, or you can help support the service learning or teaching component of the press, so that we can train good students. You can also support a particular book or series. If you would like to join the New Rivers family, please contact Wayne (gudmund@mnstate.edu).
