What is
MoXie? Moxie's features celebrate women who are living boldly,
pursuing adventures, taking risks, and providing others with vibrant role models in the process.
We like first-person stories that mirror women's strengths, especially those that provide vibrant, feisty examples
of real women doing real things in the real world. Who Are Moxie's Editors? Moxie's all-volunteer posse of editors plows through scores of submissions each month to cull the best of the best for Moxie. Emily Hancock, Moxie's founding editor, began her career as a developmental editor when she was on the editorial board of The Harvard Educational Review. The author of The Girl Within, a book about women's identity development that is based on her doctoral research at Harvard, she has also published a number of articles in professional journals as well as popular print and online magazines. A long, long time ago she scripted, edited, and narrated Somewhere To Go, a documentary about parents of children with Down's Syndrome. Besides writing and editing for Moxie, she has edited magazines as disparate as Mothering, The Natural Family Living Magazine, and Diablo, a glossy lifestyle magazine. She now works as a writing coach. Sapna Gandhi graduated from Saint Mary's College of California with a degree in English and Women's Studies. She currently works as a manager for a national telecommunications company and hopes to attend graduate school in the near future. Her passions include literature, film, music, dance, writing and the propagation of feminist thought, banter, and activism! Nicole George lives in Oakland and loves her cats, yoga, and playing in the woods far more than she loves her editing job. Leora Harling, who grew up in the Bronx, is currently living in San Francisco where she's writing her first novel. She works as an online copywriter to pay the bills. Julia Park is a fiction writer and journalist who holds a Master's Degree in English. The author of Opium, published at moxiemag.com, her work has appeared in literary journals, zines, anthologies, and newspapers in the U.S, England, Japan, and on the Internet. She has completed two novels. Lisa Rigamonti is a Leo and as such a great lover of the arts, the sun, and getting her own way. She pays her bills by working as a technical writer at a biotechnology company. Jordan Rosenfeld co-founded a small women's publication. She writes fiction to save her life, day after day, in parks and cafes. She lives in Petaluma with her husband and her muse, Figaro, the dog-cat. Kristina Wong, a community college newspaper editor, is attending UCLA, where she plans to nab a B.A. in Mass Communications to advance her career as a journalist, creative writer, artist, dancer, and actress. Elizabeth Zipper is a Senior at San Francisco State University, where she will graduate with a BA in Journalism. She lives in San Francisco and plans to pursue a career in the magazine industry. Last But Not Least... James Schinnerer works with computers and such so it should be no surprise he is our webmaster here at Moxiemag.com. James got his BS in Electrical Engineering from UC Santa Barbara. A few of the things he enjoys in his spare time are playing his piano and gardening.
