MoonPark Review is an online literary journal devoted to publishing compelling, imaginative short prose that breaks our hearts, haunts us, makes us laugh, or gives us hope. We love flash fiction, prose poems, and hybrid forms.

We’re currently reading for Issue Three, Spring 2018.

One of us loves cerebral stuff. The other loves speculative stuff. Both of us love poetic micros, dark and twisty tales, and queer themes. If your submission compels us to read it aloud to each other, you’re golden.

If you send us a story with a happy ending, make us believe it.

750 word maximum.

Email original, previously unpublished submissions to moonparkreview [at] gmail [dot] com. Paste your submission into the body of the email (no attachments, please). Please submit one piece at a time. If you’re submitting individual micros (less than 200 words each), you may send up to three in one submission. Please include a short bio with your submission.

Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know when a piece is no longer available.

MoonPark Review acquires First North American Serial Rights. Copyright reverts to author upon publication. MoonPark Review would, of course, appreciate acknowledgment as original publisher.

To get a sense of our aesthetic, read our previous and current issues:
Issue One
Issue Two

You could also check out our interview at Six Questions For…

Additionally, here is a sampling of fine prose pieces we admire very, very much:

“The Family Myths” by Nicholas Cook in Unbroken Journal

“I Have Not Pushed Back My Cuticles With An Orange Stick Since the Nixon Administration” by Kathy Fish in Monkey Bicycle

“Put Your Hands Together” by Thomas Kearnes in WordRiot

“Homonyms” by Kieran Mundy in Hobart

“Why We Never Talk About Sugar” by Aubrey Hirsch in Vestal Review

“Epistemology” by Joseph Young in Smokelong Quarterly

Bravo! Excellent choices!

Speaking of genre, how about magical realism...which is not actually either fantasy or sci-fi.
And yes, the argument for more choices in young reader genres is sound, indeed. I have very different expectations if reading young adult versus grade-school targeted material.

Sol,
On the financial side is this a competitive contract?

I'm curious and so think I might try it out at least as a reader to get a feel for the "nomination/selection" process.

As a writer attempting to get a contract this way, I'm such an isolater that the process of nomination through soliciting my contacts to vote would be laughable.

Linda,
I don't know you, but I do know the pain of losing a sibling and my heart goes out to you. I am so sad for your loss.

Tom kindly solves the problem, thank you!
I use an iPad. It has no start menu. I use an app called Pages to draft and can usually copy and paste. For some reason couldn't get it to work this time. But Tom fixed me up. He is a prince.

I posted a short story Turtle Soup and no matter what I try can't get the font to be consistent. What would you suggest? The original doc was consistent.

Welcome aboard, Skip.
Don't give up before the miracle.

Your first chapter was really strong, nothing to be shy about.

Wow! I'd been following one of these novels and loved it but had't read any of the other four until this list appeared. What a great reading list!

If we didn't all screw up several times, life would be boring and we wouldn't learn anything. Sol, our good guide, don't give a fig, he loves us all as long as we are honest and try to be generous with each other.

I don't have WiFi, on-line reading eats up my data allowance and is becoming very costly. Would it be possible to restore the download-print feature? Or just the print version option so I can copy and paste it for off-line reading.

I recall that before the revamp of TNBW, it used to be possible to download or print a story or chapter post. It made my first read through much easier.

Hi Sol,
Yes, it is much easier to add content, but itallics are not visible...anyway to fix that? My novel would be much easier to follow if the mind-dialogue showed in its intended italicized font.

But I also want to say thank you for the new thingie that lets me know where I left off reviewing other's work and whether my previous reviews were in-line. Bravo!

Stephen,
I opened your first posting to read and review, but noticed you have it set for web publication as well as workshop. As I do not wish my comments on anyone's works in progress to be viewed by the General public, I'm sad to say I will not be offering a read/review.
