Dear Luna,

To be a shining star, can i just get one person to join, or does it have to be more?

Dear Madison,

Every membership makes a difference to us! Even girls who get just one member to join can share their story to become a Shining Star.

Dear Luna,

Dear Luna,

I have an idea. For new people, who don't have any or many stickers, they could be assigned a Buddy to show them around the sight for a day or so. The girls who wanted to be a Buddy and were on frequently could, maybe, sign up or something. Although, that might not work out, I just thought you might like the idea! Thanks for the great magazine! ♥♥♥♥

Dear ♥Regan,

I think it's awesome that you want to help new girls feel welcome! That's why we have the "I'm new!" announcements on the homepage -- to help girls reach out to our newest members. I hope all New Moon members visit new girls' rooms often -- it means the world to them!

Dear Luna,

Some girls found the drawings of girls on the old New Moon covers unfair and they wanted real girls. But I thought they looked nice and I love to just look at them. Please consider bringing them back! Thanks!

Micalah, 11

Dear Micalah,

We loved the drawings on the covers, too. But there are two main reasons that we won't be bringing the drawings on the covers back. One is that our magazines sell much better with real girls on the cover, and it's important for our survival that the magazine sells well. Photos also cost less than artwork for the covers, and right now, we need to save money so we can stay alive.

Dear Luna,

Thank you for a wonderful magazine. New Moon Girls makes me feel happy to know that their are so many other girls out there like me, they have their own magazine/website! But every New Moon Girl is different, each with inner beauty. I am on the old end of members, but I don't feel left out because of the wonderful job you do making a magazine/website for girls so many age levels. Thank you so so much.

Dear Luna,

I heard that there will be GEB submissions in the winter but I am afraid that I will miss them. How will I know that it is time for them?

Anna, 12

Maryland

Dear Anna,

We'll announce GEB openings on the homepage of the site for several weeks before they are due. We'll do our best to make sure all interested girls hear about it. If you come on to the site on a regular basis (all girls who want to be on the GEB should), you won't miss it.

Dear Luna,

How do I review books for NMG? THanks for reading this.

Anna, 12

Maryland

Dear Anna,

If you go to the Luna's Team page (type Luna's Team in the search box), you'll find guidelines for applying to be a book reviewer for New Moon. Unfortunately, not all girls who sign up to review books are able to -- we have far more reviewers than we do books to review.

Dear Luna,

Congratulations! 115 orders today! GO NEW MOON!

Dear Luna,

I just wanted to say that New Moon has really changed my life. I used to be really shy but now I am much more confident. I used to be afraid I was fat but now I love my body. I don't worry about wheather I'm popular or not anymore. I just try to be myself and to have fun. New Moon has also really encouraged me in my writing and has helped me find ways to be more positive about myself.

Hannah, 12

Alabama

Dear Hannah,

That's great! I'm so happy to hear about all the ways that New Moon has helped you.

Dear Luna,

when i was writting some stuff in my room i checked off that i wanted an email sent to me if my post on ask a girl was commented on. does this still work if you used another name?

Lara, 12

Georgia

Dear Lara,

Yes, it will work no matter what name you use.

Dear Luna,

I wrote a whole story, re wrote it to be perfect, spell checked it, and was just about to publish it when all of a sudden I accidentally clicked cancel and now it's gone!!! How can I get it back??

Amelia, 11

Rhode Island

Dear Amelia,

Unfortunately, we're not able to get stories back that girls have lost on the site. That's why we recommend that all girls save copies of their stories on their own computers before they upload them to New Moon or any site.

Dear Luna,

Hello. I have been looking for old issues of New Moon but can't seem to find where to get them. I'd love to read the back issues! In my opinion, New Moon is the most wonderful magazine ever published. Please reply even if it's to say there are none just so I know. Thank you.

Catherine, 14

New Jersey

Dear Catherine,

You can email help@newmoon.com to ask about which back issues we have available. We don't have all of them, but we may have some you can buy. Also, lots of "classic" New Moon articles are published on the website, too!

Dear Luna,

I really want to be a writer, but I don't know how to share my stories. Can you help?
