About moonShine review

Away from the harshness of daylight, promises are made, bodies come together, words are spoken that can never be taken back — and the creative process thrives.

Debuted in 2005, moonShine review is more than a journal of creative prose and photography. It is about what speaks to you in the moonlight, and it is about the shadows cast in mind and memory.  For only in the darkness do we show all of ourselves. 

There is never a theme in advance; what comes to us coalesces into a theme.  You give us a theme through your words and pictures.  We find the thread that makes it so.

In 2011, we celebrate our seventh year producing this bi-annual, creative prose and photography journal known as moonShine review.  And each year marks incredible growth, talent, and gratification beyond measure.  We are proud that we’ve chosen writers who have gone on to publish their own books.  We are proud that photographers we’ve chosen prosper and make a name for themselves.  We are proud that we continue to be a venue for new, emerging talent.  We strive to create a journal that balances talent with a twist — adept and awe-inspiring, peculiar and profound, radical and relentless.  We’re always looking for that twist.

Out staff of four has (dare we say) 50+ years of experience in the fields of writing, editing, and the academic world of creative literature.  And still, we’re quite the crew of misfits to so enjoy taking on “the dark side.”

STAFF:
Anne Hicks — Founder, Publisher, and Executive Editor
Beth Cagle Burt — Senior Editor
Claire Armstrong — Fiction Editor & Marketing Agent
Leslie M. Rupracht — Fiction & Photography Editor

To all who have helped us — contributors and purchasers, friends and family, volunteers, other publishers, and the great writing community at large — we thank you each and every one.

Keep sharing!
Anne M. Hicks

   Your review sounds both intriguing and exciting, for the shadows in our mind and heart go far to create the most sensitive prose.
   How about poetry? Is haiku something that you will publish as well?

   Very best wishes,

   Maureen Crane Wartski

     moonShine review is a strictly prose journal, though we do accept any type of creative prose for consideration. Sorry, we don’t currently have a poetry journal!
     Thanks for inquiring, though!
     Anne
