Fereydoon Moshiri in the picture frame

Moshiri’s professional literary career developed most prominently through his editorial work in major Iranian journals. From 1953 to 1972, he directed the poetry and literature section of Roshanfekr magazine, one of the most influential cultural periodicals of the period. His pages covered not only poetry but also criticism of books, films, theater, and painting, making his section a hub for Iranian intellectual life. Importantly, many contemporary poets were introduced to the public through his editorial efforts.

Later, he took charge of the poetry and literature section of Sepid va Siah magazine, another widely circulated publication. During these years, he also collaborated with Sokhan magazine, edited by Parviz Natel Khanlari, which was known for its rigorous literary standards.

Through these editorial roles, Moshiri became both a gatekeeper and promoter of literary innovation. He nurtured new voices, published groundbreaking works, and contributed to shaping the literary taste of an entire generation.

In 1977, two years before the Iranian Revolution, he was transferred to the Iranian Telecommunication Company. Following the revolution in 1979, he retired from government service but continued his literary activities until his death in 1990.
