LUNA MAGAZINE is an annual literary publication written and curated by writers in the Writers With Attitude workshop, including other talented writers separate from the workshop. The works include poetry, prose, fiction, personal essays, interviews, and visual art (graphic art, photography, etc.). Last year, the theme was New York. Our submissions are now closed. 50% of our proceeds will go to Black Women’s Health Imperative, National Bail Out, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, and American Civil Liberties Union in support of the fight against racial injustice.
