Moonshot is currently CLOSED for poetry and fiction submissions. We are still OPEN to online content proposals, art submissions, and comic submissions. Please do NOT submit poetry or fiction through another category—your submission will be disregarded. We will begin reading again for Moonshot #5 on June 1, 2012.

Moonshot welcomes submissions of poetry, prose, comics, and art, for print and online publication, as well as articles, essays, and new media for publication online. Work submitted to Moonshot is considered for both print and online, however not all accepted work will appear in both versions of an issue.

Moonshot does not follow any particular style or creed beyond wanting to see adventurous, original works. We encourage you to purchase a copy to become acquainted with the publication before submitting. Please read the following guidelines closely so your submission is properly reviewed:

We accept submissions from writers of all levels and encourage emerging writers to submit to the magazine. The magazine does not generally reprint material that has already been published, so do not send us previously published works. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable, but notify us immediately if your submission is accepted elsewhere. Please be kind enough to wait for a response after submitting, and only include one submission (in each category) per reading period. We give every submission our full attention, but it can take our staff up to 3 months to respond. Please note that we frequently provide (but do not guarantee) personal feedback for writing submissions. If you prefer not to receive feedback on your writing, please let us know in your cover letter. Writers and artists accepted into the print edition of Moonshot receive a free contributor’s copy of the issue they appear in.
