Submission Guidelines for moonShine review
have been modified again . Visit moonShine review for more information and latest news.



Newest Issue of moonShine review NOW AVAILABLE!

Both exotic and familiar, this issue of moonShine review asks you to exit the reality of the norm and enter a world of living on the edge—the edge of reason, the edge of new beginnings, the edge of imagination, and sometimes the edge of madness.

The characters speak in varying dialects, from the backwoods of Carolina to Brooklyn, but all share one thing in common—the need to redefine themselves, to shine despite the struggles they bear.

Thanks to the following contributors: Carolyn Brown Bayer, Ben E. Campbell, Lana Hendershott, D.B. Miller, Dorothy Raney, Lynn Veach Sadler, Bob Strother, Caulean Vesey, Tammy Wilson, Margaret Wooten, and Featured Photographer Vansana Nolintha.

moonShine review, volume 3 issue 2, is now available at the THRIFT Store.

moonShine review Editor, Anne Hicks, Among Facilitators at 17 th Annual South Carolina Writers Workshop Conference, October 26-28, 2007

This year’s South Carolina Writers Workshop Conference was held October 26-28 at the Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort.

She also joined Carol Ann Davis, author and editor of Crazyhorse, for a panel discussion on “What It Takes to Get Our Attention.”


Check out LEMONADE & RUMORS by Julie Ann Cook

The individuality of the narrator's voice throughout this collection is deceptively duplicitous. While the honesty here is courageously candid, be warned that, from the outset, this author has the power of poetic license to lie. But also know that there is truth in these poems that transcend the individual to become the human story for each and every one of us.

THRIFT 6 Limited Edition: Some copies still available...

Our sixth issue features cover art by Jason Mullis. Spider’s Creation was composed of three 6'x8' panels, torn down by the hands of Charlotte artists, writers, and musicians and glued to the covers of the sixth issue.

Jason’s inspiration for the piece is an African creation story.
