About Us
We created MAYBORN for narrative writers and students in the Southwest, and for those who love to read. It’s a place where the known and not-yet-known can gather side by side, sharing nonfiction stories—and how they got them.
MAYBORN’s purpose is to enhance the quality of nonfiction writing, encourage innovation, and inspire a culture of storytelling among journalists in the Southwest. When a student’s writing appears next to that of a Shacochis or a Momaday, it better be good. “Now our students won’t be satisfied until they too harness that power,” says Getschow. “They will always be on the quest. They’ve gotten a taste for good writing.”
Come inside and share the mystery—and, oh yeah, the misery—of narrative writing with us ... WHERE REAL STORIES COME ALIVE.
