Kakalak 2023: Proofs to Contributors Complete

All contributors have been sent proof of your work in Kakalak 2023. Please know this is a courtesy and will not halt the publication’s schedule. If I have not heard back from you by this Friday, I must still go to press.

Even if everything is fine with your piece, your bio, etc., I’d still like to have a reply to the proof email I sent. It is the goal of Kakalak to make every effort to ensure the anthology is the best it can possibly be!

Thank you,
Anne M. Kaylor

Kakalak 2023 Update

We’re working away at combining all your beautiful poems and art to create this year’s anthology!

Contributors, please keep an eye out for the proof by mid-September.

And we’ll have a release date and purchasing information posted as soon as the proof is finalized.

Thanks, everyone!
Anne M. Kaylor

CONGRATULATIONS to KAKALAK 2023’s Winners & Contributors!

June Release: moonShine review Spring/Summer 2023

Our Spring/Summer 2023 issue of moonShine review is here—and what a beautiful collection of stories and photography this time!

We have a quirkier than usual cast proliferating this issue’s pages,
from the unhappy partner searching for answers in Home Depot to
a writing recluse who plots to deceive her readers. Whether merely
eccentric or outright wacky, these voices literally jump off the page
as characters grieve or deny grief, run toward or away from relationships,
and rebel to right unjust wrongs or to just act out.

FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER: Carolyn J. Hoopes

FEATURED AUTHORS: Joyce Compton Brown,
Katherine Burnette, Debra A. Daniel, Ginny Foard,
Michael Gaspeny, LJ Hippler, Nancy Martin-Young,
Gary V. Powell, Karen Sleeth, Dominik Slusarczyk,
Dennis H. Smith, Alison Stone, Bob Strother, Jessi Waugh
