About
The Blue Moon Review
The Blue Moon Review
(founded as The Blue Penny Quarterly) has been published
continuously since early 1994, making it one of the oldest
living literary magazines online, and one of the few with
an ongoing international following.
While names and faces on the masthead have changed over
time, the magazine was founded, and continues to be directed
and published, by Doug
Lawson. Contributors
to BMR are some of the most lauded writers around, including
winners of Best American Short Story & Guggenheim
awards, fellowships from the NEA and other institutions.
They publish work offline in top literary journals you
may have heard of, places like the Paris Review, Glimmer
Train Stories, Poetry, Zoetrope, Story, and elsewhere.
Oh, and they also publish books.
Yes, this is a legit form of publishing. Yes, agents read
us regularly. Yes, we receive a great deal of submissions,
most of which we do not accept. No, all online magazines
do not have a worldwide audience of more than 25,000
people. We, however, do. (They point out any typos.)
BMR is published from a passive solar house out in the
woods south of Richmond, Virginia and the James River.
Issues may not be archived on any machine (unless we put
it there) and may not be used for any purpose without
written consent of the publisher.
