Nuvein Magazine is an online magazine of fiction, poetry, and essays.

It was started by Enrique D. Diaz while onboard the U.S.S. New Jersey (BB-62) in 1982. The publication was a collection of photocopied articles and short stories written by Enrique and fellow sailors.

In 1996, Nuvein Magazine made its debut on the web, publishing fiction, poetry, and essays. Nuvein Magazine was originally published in photocopy format and distributed individually. Today, Nuvein Magazine is online and is also printed in anthology format. It is significant that Nuvein Magazine is one of the older online magazines in continuous existence. Nuvein's mission is dedicated to showcasing a wide diversity of voices and ideas. The writers included in Nuvein have come from different parts of the world. They are representative of both genders, and also of cultural and ethnic diversity. Nuvein also includes voices from the community, ranging from entertainment to educational intent.

The magazine is organizing a non-profit foundation (Nuvein Foundation for Literature and Art)in order to expose young people to literature and the arts. The cornerstone of this endeavor is the Nuvein Presents series where performers (poets, writers, musicians, singers, comedians and others) perform for the community to contribute to their cultural and artistic aims. The Nuvein Foundation is also in the process of finding ways to raise funds in order to provide scholarships to students interested in a career in literature and the arts.

The El Monte/South El Monte Chamber of Commerce Educational Committee has joined Nuvein Foundation as co-sponsors of Nuvein Presents. Nuvein Magazine's current publisher is Enrique D. Diaz. The current editor is Anh Lottman. The Nuvein Foundation board of directors includes: Jeffrey Bickel, UCLA Film and Television Archive; Juan Nunez, Valley Vista Services; Roberta Lujan, Golfland South El Monte; Miguel Sankitts, Mavrec Global; Renato Aguirre, IDM; Ryan Storms, Sk8Life Clothing; Jody Bush, Enrique D. Diaz, and Anh Lottman.
