I Loved Your Poem, but I Think I Deleted It!
On January 1, 2025 all January poems I have in my computer will be published here.
If you have a Cold Moon Journal acceptance for the new year and it’s not included in that January 1 batch, kindly forward that email to me so I can fix things. I was clearing out the trash and sent folders so a new editor could take over, but apparently things got out of hand! I apologize.
Additionally, I know I had two last poems to use in December. Those are lost as well. So if you are one of these poets, please forward your email to me.
Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

New Editor Needed
After four inspiring years having fun with Cold Moon Journal, I have decided to pass the torch.
If you are interested in assuming editorship/ownership, please drop me a brief email at coldmoonjournal@gmail.com. (No monetary investment is involved, only your time!)
