Hello Writers,

   My name is Bob Griffin I would like to let your organization know about
an online magazine that I am editing. The magazine is called the Absent
Willow Review and every month we publish new science fiction and fantasy
short stories from very talented authors. The website and all of its
stories are free. You can read the stories as well as view great science
fiction artwork at www.absentwillowreview.com.

   Currently we are accepting story submissions for the Summer and Fall
2009 issues. If anyone in your group would like to submit their works of
fiction please visit the website and click on the Submissions page. We
offer a $50.00 prize every other month for the best story. 

Below is a link to an article that a newspaper printed about the Absent
Willow Review.
