Dear CMJ Community,
We have now spent a year working as editors here at Cold Moon Journal, having taken over from Robin who made the journal what it is today. We're going to make some changes:
— We will now have six-week reading periods and six weeks of production of a volume. Why? Because it is challenging to be reading between 500—1000 poems every month and to make creative uses of your poems.
— Every three months, we're going to make chapbooks of selected texts. These will exist as both (free) PDFs on the website, and a physical book that can be purchased via Amazon. No themes yet. There will be illustrations by Oana, and commentary by both of us.
The submission windows are as follows:
Jan 1 — February 15 open. February 16 — March 31 closed.
April 1 — May 15 open. May 16 — June 30 closed.
July 1 — August 15 open. August 16 — September 30 closed.
October 1 — November 15 open. November 16 — December 31 closed.
Submissions are therefore open until Feb 15th (they were closed last week while we made these changes, so please re-send your texts!).
The first chapbook of texts from 2026 will be available on April 1st 2026. We are also planning a book of all of the work we chose in 2025, details to be confirmed.
Happy writing!
Best regards,
Oana & Timothy
