New Moon (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Moon is a magazine intended for girls aged 8-12 years old. It is published in the United States on a bi-monthly basis by New Moon Publishing. The first issue of the magazine was published in 1993. The magazine consists of 48 pages and contains no advertisements. It is edited by the Girls Editorial Board, a group of girls ages 8-12. About 80% of the magazine's content is contributed by girls, and submissions from readers are encouraged. Submissions from boys are not printed, except for an occasional letter.
New Moon's Girls Editorial Board chooses a different theme for each issue and four feature articles that relate to the theme. Additional articles include "Body Language," which explains the physical and emotional changes that happen during puberty; "Global Village," which introduces readers to girls from other countries; "Women's Work," which profiles a woman in an interesting profession; "Herstory," which introduces readers to little-known women from history; "Go Girl," which covers girls' activism and adventure stories; and "Science Side Effects," which contains a science experiment girls can try at home.
