Wolf Moon Journal is a small but plucky independent web magazine based in Winthrop Maine, and has been on the web since 2002. The journal has a broad range of content, including movie reviews, essays on various topics, images of Maine, and poetry. While based in Maine, not all of our contributors are from Maine nor are all the articles about Maine—we are not afraid to tackle big themes that go beyond the state. On the other hand, we do treasure our independent voices from the hinterland, and much of our focus is on life in Maine. In short, we enjoy being somewhat contradictory.

In the fall of 2009, because of rising printing and postage costs, we made the decision to no longer publish a print journal. It was a sad decision—we had been in print for seven years—but it was the right one to make.  We now live in the age of the Internet, and while we old-timers love print magazines and newspapers, times are changing, as the saying goes, and Wolf Moon Journal had to change, too. But we miss the print journal—there’s no getting around it—which felt more solid and real than the ephemeral Internet.

Yet onward we go, into the brave new world of the Internet and of digital readers, which do, in fact, allow us to continue to be a voice from the hinterlands.
