There has been a slight delay in this latest issue of Luna Park. Too much work, too little staff? But when has that ever stopped anyone? We’ll get this thing off the ground momentarily.

In other news: The “Arrivals in the Mailbox” link in the upper left corner. Each issue arriving in the real or virtual Luna Park mailboxes (plus magazines simply noticed by editors, readers, etc.) will be briefly summed up in this section, with quotes from the issue and links to issue websites.

Luna Park copy editor Marcelle Heath will become our new (and first) assistant editor. Marcelle will cover the ever-expanding world of online literary magazines, an area that until now Luna Park did not have the staff to cover. What’s more, since Black Wednesday, Amazon’s recent selling out of Kindles, and recent announcements that both the Pulitzer committee and the Best American Short Story anthology series will begin considering online content, Internet publishing seems more and more the new horizon. (In 1997, Atlantic Monthly published some early and insightful pieces on our online literary future.) If you have any online literary magazine news, email Marcelle at: lunaparkonline@gmail.com.

Luna Park will be moving more and more to blog-format, with both long articles and brief postings intertwined. After LP4, the quarterly/issue section will, well, change. Hopefully for the better. Stay tuned.

Finally, as you can see above, we now have a menu bar.
