We do not charge a jury or entry fee. Our objective is to make the process of getting your work in our hands for possible publication as easy as possible. If you need assistance, call or email. We will be happy to help.
Any work we receive that is postmarked by August 1st will be considered for our upcoming edition. Late submissions will be held over for consideration the following year.
What you will find in this post:
We'Moon is a lunar calendar, a handbook in natural cycles and most importantly a collaboration of women! Women from around the world send us their art and writing to be considered for publication within the date book. Send us your creative work. We are always excited to receive submissions from women who have not sent their work in to us, before.
~from an interview of Bethroot Gwynn, We'Moon Special Editor, titled
The Magic Behind the Veil of Production!
Autumn Skye, Emily Balivet, Saba Taj, Gaia Orion, Jakki Moore, Leah Dorion and Qutress! Writers include, Oak Chezar, Naima Penniman of ClimbingPoeTree, Joanne M. Clarkson, Rose Flint, Toko-pa Turner and many more!
Contributions from many women from all walks of life is what makes We'Moon so very special to thousands of women. Visit our resources page for more links and bios of women who have been published in We'Moon in the past!
Each piece of art and writing is circulated at Selection Circles where hundreds of women give us their opinions about the submitted works. If you are interested in joining a virtual Selection Circle, sign up for alerts via our newsletter. Our jury process is quite complicated which makes following the submissions guidelines important!
By crowdsourcing our jury process, we get to bring the opinions of hundreds (and maybe thousands, now that we will be having online Selection Circles) of other women into the production process. We bring to the foreground the most well-loved work, and those are the pieces we work with, primarily, during the creation of We'Moon in our small group process.
We may not consider work that does not meet our guidelines, so read through these instructions.
We do accept submissions that are being reviewed simultaneously by other publishers. Do not send originals, as no submissions will be returned.
The Call for Contributions contains the license for all artists and writers to fill out and send in with the submissions. NOTE: Submissions will not be processed without a completed license.
If you find this form daunting, you are not alone. Please call or email, and we will happily assist you.
Your package should contain:

We'Moon is dedicated to amplifying the images and voices of women from many perspectives and cultures.
We encourage women from all walks of life to take part in helping We’Moon weave a rich and varied tapestry. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to connect with us!
We seek to make We’Moon a safe and welcoming space for all women, including those from international women's cultures, women of color (WOC) and others marginalized by the mainstream, e.g., lesbian, non-binary, transgender, genderqueer, etc.
The theme for We’Moon 2023 is inspired by the first light that follows New Moon: the Waxing Crescent—Her Silver Lining. Waking from the dark moon time, Crescent Moon brings waves of possibility, hope, insight, transformation.
This bright spark sheds light on the careful work of nurturing new dreams, our fragile, tender wishes. She peeks down on us with a knowing smile:
Welcome the excitement and the daring this newly discovered landscape evokes. What opportunities present themselves as the moonlight dawns?
Let’s conspire to imagine solutions for stale problems.Embrace the challenges and rewards of moonifesting more integrity, compassion and resilience in our personal and collective realities.
What bursts of creativity have caught you off guard or inspired you?
Share rituals for growth, change, forgiveness, hope. Tell us a creation story.
How does it feel to take a leap of faith?To make a radical decision that changes your reality forever?
How do we adapt when our goals don’t go as planned? How can we help our families, communities, world, make daring choices? What new projects is your community inventing this year?
How would you enact respect and safety for the creatures, lands and waters that share the planet with us?
How can we assist each other in this troubled time?
How are devastated communities beginning again? What are the challenges and gifts of renewal? What new energies are percolating up from dark times?
What plans or ideas are taking form in the material world?
What hopeful signs do you see of Earth regeneration? How do we reform structures that do not serve us anymore? What new skills or tools do we need to accelerate reparative actions?
How shall we spread the hopeful promises that invite trust in the future? What seeds of light are we planting for the long haul?
