Commitment to inclusivity
As a female-run, socially-conscious business led by Founder and Editorial Director Elana Seplow-Jolley, New Moon Editorial strives to foster inclusivity and equity in publishing—and we are dedicated to uplifting diverse voices as a crucial part of our work. We believe that everyone has the right to tell their story—and should have access to the editorial process that has long been kept intentionally opaque.
