The first editor of the fanzine was Jon Ravin, who also did issue 2; Bernie Morris was editor for issues 3 through 11.

In the late 1980s, the editor was Lisa Kroh.
Twilight Zine was the first fanzine to publish the art work of Stephen Fabien, who got in touch with co-editors Leslie Turek and Cory Seidman after reading a letter they had written to a SF magazine. His drawing appeared on the cover of issue 24, the first appearance of his art work anywhere.
Other artists included Jack Gaughan and Al Kuhfeld.
Other contributors included Mike Deckinger, Joel Gray, Richard Harter (The Proper Boskonian), Doug Hoylman, Edward Keyes, Larry Lennhoff, Bernie Morris, Will Murray, Ed Olsen, George Phillies, Kevin Riggle and Marilyn "Fuzzy Pink" Wisowaty (later Niven).
